No Chinese conspiracy in attack on priests: Nepal

Nepal on Monday dismissed suggestions of any 'Chinese connection' behind the recent Maoist attack on two Indian priests of the Pashupatinath temple. Deploring the incident that took place at the temple premises on Friday, Nepal Culture Minister Minindra Rijal told an Indian private news channel, "It's very clear that they (Maoists) are involved." "As an independent Nepali citizen, some might be a little more sympathetic to China," he said.
