Definately- Maobadis are are terrorists no doubt.. If they were only carrying political message they would not do these acts -mutilitate and kill a 90 year old man. -Bomb bus full of civilians -Extort money from every business and house holds -Destryo infrastructure including bridges. -Forcefully recruit people ( there have been many sucide cases where people were "forced" to join their camp, they could not refuse rather killed themselves, many are self exiled in India.) There had comitted numerous hineous acts/crimes. These acts were performed to spread fear. Did you read about a guy who did not agree with them and they skinned him alive, broke every bone in his body and finally chopped his head after many hours of torture in front of his family and the family members were forced to watch the execution? It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about their crimes. I cannot go on ..
