Nepal's elusive Maoist rebel leader "Prachanda" has ruled out peace talks or a ceasefire with the government, predicting that the nine-year war would see the Maoists come to power soon.
"Right now, we do not see any possibility of talks with these mediaeval and barbaric feudal autocrats," he told Reuters in an interview by e-mail received yesterday.
"Right now, the possibility of a ceasefire does not exist."
Prachanda's combative words come two months after Nepal's King Gyanendra seized power, declared a state of emergency and vowed to bring peace.
Suspected Communist rebels killed a senior police official in southern Nepal.
Two men on a motorcycle opened fire killing police official Bishnu Pokhrel at the main market area in Janakpur, about 300km southeast of Katmandu, the state-run Nepal Television said.
