taken from BBC-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat said the killings came as a shock because "there were no demands or deadlines." He said he had stressed that Nepal was not part of the US-led coalition in Iraq. "I repeatedly conveyed the message that these people have nothing to do with the Americans," he said. The Kathmandu government accused recruitment agencies of putting impoverished Nepalese workers at risk in Iraq. It vowed "to take action against those persons who are found involved in illegal methods of recruitment of helpless Nepalese into Iraq, resulting in this devastating tragedy". Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world, has banned Nepalis from going to Iraq, despite the relatively well-paid jobs there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This shows that Nepali government are afraid . They are afraid to admit that they have any hand in aiding US. how pathatic. They werent rescued because no demands/deadline was informaed???? WTF, do they indented to rescue after all has gone bad or something
