KATHMANDU: A bomb that exploded outside an Indian diplomatic post in southern Nepal caused damage and drew attention for being a rare attack on a foreign mission, officials said. The homemade device went off late Monday at Biratnagar, 200 kilometers southeast of Kathmandu and close to the Indian border. "There were no injuries in the pressure-cooker bomb blast, but the wall suffered some minor damage. We are investigating," senior district police official Arun Kumar said. Police suspect involvement of a Maoist splinter group which had called a strike in the area, but no one has claimed responsibility for the explosion. "No one has been injured in the incident. Our embassy in Kathmandu is in touch with the government of Nepal. The security authorities in Nepal are investigating the matter," said a statement from an Indian foreign ministry spokesman.- AFP
