Carter arrives in Nepal
Afp, Kathmandu
Former US president Jimmy Carter arrived in Nepal yesterday for talks with political leaders and a key former rebel about crucial polls scheduled for late 2007. Carter, 82, will meet Nepal Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala as well as Maoist leader Prachanda who ended a bloody rebellion last year and joined the government but whose party remains on a US list of terrorist organisations. Carter was whisked from Kathmandu's airport after his arrival for the four-day visit, and did not comment to waiting journalists.
