Nepal, US Sign Pact On Terrorism
From the Hindu (India):
Nepal and the United States today signed a five-year agreement for cooperation in fighting against terrorism and preventing possible terror attacks ...
... The agreement covers security cooperation including security of important physical infrastructures, important personalities and security in border areas.

I wonder if this is a covert way for the U.S. to support the Nepalese government's fight against the Maoist insurgency they've seen. If the Maoists take over, Nepal will inevitably be a Chinese puppet state. I can't see the U.S. being pleased with that thought. Or India, for that matter, though they have enough of their own problems to deal with.

Does this mean we get some Gurkas? It really isn't fair that only the Brits get Gurkas!
