At least two people have been killed in a bomb attack on a mosque in southern Nepal, an official said Saturday. "Two people have been killed and two have been injured in a bomb explosion Saturday evening inside the mosque," senior local official Madhav Prasad Regmi told AFP from Biratnagar, 220 kilometres (137 miles) south-east of Kathmandu.
Nepal is due to go to the polls in less than two weeks. Its southern plains have seen sporadic unrest since the former rebel Maoists and political parties made a landmark peace deal in late 2006, ending a decade of civil war.
