KATHMANDU, Nepal — An explosion outside a telecommunication company in Nepal’s capital killed one person and wounded two others, police said Saturday. The victims Friday night were passing by the main entrance of the Ncell mobile network operator company on the southern edge of Kathmandu when the blast occurred. The man who was killed, whose name police officials have not released, lost both feet in the blast and died from excessive bleeding. The explosion shook the neighbourhood and shattered windows in nearby buildings. It is one of the two biggest mobile network companies in Nepal and is also battling court cases on alleged failure to pay taxes.
