 KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Nepal's one-time rebel army quit the coalition government Tuesday, escalating a political crisis that imperiled the Himalayan nation's fragile peace process.
The former rebels also said they would boycott the election process unless the monarchy was abolished.
While they warned of widespread protests, however, they also gave the interim government some breathing space — saying a nationwide general strike would not be launched until Oct. 4-6.
