(AP photo)KATHMANDU: Security forces in Nepal were on high alert on Monday amid a general strike called by an outlawed communist group suspected in a series of explosions that killed four people and wounded seven more in the capital. The group had called for a nationwide general strike to pressure the government in releasing their detained members. They said they found pamphlets from the group at the second explosion site. Police said a third explosion wounded two people who they believe were members of the group transporting the explosive device.
