Wednesday, 30 March 2011
KATHMANDU, Mar 29: Criminal gangs and armed groups operating in Nepal's restive southern plains are abducting children for ransom and sometimes murdering them, Human Rights Watch said Tuesday. At least 28 children were abducted in the Terai region during 2010, according to the group's survey based on English-language media, with nine of them killed and two girls raped by their kidnappers. -AFP
