Maoists bomb Coca-Cola plant in Nepal

Maoist rebels bombed a Coca-Cola factory in Balaju, on the outskirts of the Nepal capital Kathmandu, in the early hours of Thursday.

An agency report quoting plant manager N N Singh said two bombs went off inside the factory.

"The first bomb exploded at 5:10 am at the back of the factory while the second one was planted inside the factory causing heavy damage to the bottle washing plant," Singh was quoted as saying.

The second bomb reportedly went off five minutes after the first.

No one was injured in the blasts, Singh was quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, the army cordoned off the area, while the police arrested six persons on suspicion of being involved in the blasts.

The attack was the first to be carried out by the Maoists since a state of emergency was declared on Monday.

The US soft drinks giant has invested nearly $26.31 million in the factory.
