Civilians killed by Maoist bomb
At least six bus passengers in Nepal have been killed in explosions while trying to move road-blocks placed by Maoist rebels.
Five members of the security forces died in the same district on Friday while trying to remove roadblocks.
Last June the rebels admitted that an attack on a passenger bus in which at least 38 died was a "serious mistake".
Nine years of civil war in Nepal have left more than 12,000 people dead at the hands of both sides.
