Nepal
Visiting US Ambassador-at-large J Cofer Black has said
Nepal is likely to get some military equipment from the US government.
Black who is also the head of the counter-terrorism body of the State Department, said during an interaction with journalists on Wednesday that the US is mulling to assist
Nepal in its fight against Maoist insurgency. “The process to deliver some military hardware is in the pipeline, ” Black said.
He informed that the United
States might also offer help in order to bolster the intelligence system of the Royal Nepalese Army.
Black was of the view that Maoist activities have gone up in recent times so have the human rights violations. Asked whether the Al-Qaeda (an international terrorist outfit) is rubbing shoulder with Maoists to unleash terror in the region, Black said he had no information regarding this. “We do not have any report on that, ” he clarified. He however said the Maoists have good rapport with extremist communist outfits in the South Asian region.
He made it known that he has held discussions with heads of security bodies and other high-ranking government officials on a variety of issues, including the Maoist problem.
