Finally, there are faces to go with the most "revolutionary" names in Nepal today. Last week on its fortnightly television program the Royal Nepal Army premiered the most recent pictures of the Maoist leadership. Nearly two dozen pictures, including those of a garlanded Prachanda and a whiskerless Baburam Bhattarai, were shown on NTV. Viewers were also encouraged to report to the authorities any glimpse they caught of the "anti-nationals". Also on the RNA's most-wanted list is Nanda Kishore Pun, head of the Maoist militia in the western region. Pun, aka Pasang, led major Maoist offensives in the west, including in Dang and Surkhet. Newspaper reports say that the photographs were seized from Ajablal Yadav and Khop Bahadur Kandel who were killed in clashes between security forces and the Maoists in Saptari and Gorkha, respectively.
