United States Nepal Violence

Condoling the death of an Indian due to police firing in Nepal, the United States today asked Nepalese leaders to "reach an accommodation" that builds the "broadest possible support" for the country's Constitution.

Three major mountaineering companies joined others in quitting Everest citing fears of violence, safety concerns and tension at base camp, deepening a crisis on Thursday on the world's highest peak sparked by the death of 16 guides last week.
