Nepal -- In a continued attack on media and media personnel, a group of about 50 Maoists attacked Himalmedia and injured at least 12 of its editors and members of staff, Thehimalayantimes.com reports.
The large group, led by the president of the Maoist-affiliated All Nepal Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union, is said to have stormed into the meeting hall of Himalmedia's Hattiban office around noon.
"These people appeared to be martial arts experts. They had military training. One of them could kick a tall person like me in the head," one of the victims said.
The attackers also vandalised the office and left the scene after 15 minutes, according to reports.
