Maoists bomb Bharatpur Coke plant a 2nd time

Maoist rebels in Nepal have bombed a Coca Cola bottling plant in Bharatpur, the second attack on the factory in three months.

The attack took place Sunday night at the company's plant in Bharatpur, south of Kathmandu.

A group of five Maoists locked the night guards before hurling a bomb at the factory building, local radio reported.

No one was injured in the incident.

Unofficial estimates put the cost of the damage at around $130,000.

Royal Nepal Army rushed to the spot soon after the incident and cordoned off the beverage plant.

Rebels had bombed the same plant in January. In November they had bombed yet another Coca Cola factory on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
