Enraged by the evil slaughter of 12 Nepalese hostages by the Iraqi holy warriors, thousands of demonstrators trashed a mosque in Katmandu today: Nepal Imposes Curfew in Restive Capital.

KATMANDU, Nepal - Nepal’s government imposed an indefinite curfew and appealed for calm Wednesday after thousands of demonstrators ransacked a mosque and clashed with police in the capital to protest the slaying of 12 Nepalese hostages by Iraqi militants.

One demonstrator died late Wednesday after being wounded during the clashes, said doctors at the Bir Hospital in Katmandu. Three more protesters were in serious condition.

“We want revenge,” the protesters shouted as they stormed the Jame mosque — the only Muslim house of worship in the capital. They broke windows and set fire to carpets, furniture and parts of the building. No one was inside at the time. Police fired tear gas in an unsuccessful attempt to disperse the mob.

Protesters also attacked the offices of at least two dozen agencies that send workers abroad, throwing furniture and documents into the streets and burning buildings.
