Twin blasts in front of BICC
Two
bombs went off Monday afternoon in front of the Birendra International
Convention Centre (BICC) at Naya Baneshwor, where the Constituent
Assembly (CA) is to convene on Wednesday.
The
blasts occurred simultaneously at the southern gate of the BICC at
around 5:15 pm, but there was no human casualty or any damage of
property.
Eyewitnesses said two persons on a motorbike hurled the explosives and scurried away.
Police
said pamphlets found near the blast scene indicated that the blasts
were carried out by a little-known Hindu fundamentalist outfit called
Ranabir Sena.
Massive numbers of security personnel
have been mobilised in the area following the blasts. Newly elected CA
members are to be sworn in amid a ceremony at the BICC tomorrow.
The
blasts occurred hours after the prohibitory orders issued by the local
administration around the BICC and some other strategic locations came
into effect.
