Maoist rebels in Nepal bomb Coke factory

Maoist rebels in Nepal have bombed a Coca-Cola factory on the outskirts of Kathmandu.

Two bombs exploded inside the plant in the early hours of the morning.

No one was injured and officials are still assessing damage to the 50-million dollar complex.

Last month Maoist rebels in southern India bombed another Coca Cola factory, saying it was in retaliation for U-S military action against Afghanistan.
