Hours after CNN, Ajtak and BBC flashed news that a website had shown videos of the executions of 12 abducted Nepalese workers on Tuesday August 31st 2004, sporadic protests and slogans were already heard in Kathmandu streets. On Tuesday evening, acrowd had gathered outside the masjids in Kathmandu burning tires on the street. The police chased them away, and thedemonstrators arned that they would return the next morning to continue. Who were the protesters? Was the protest spontaneous or planned? Who gained from the burning and looting of September First 2004? Why wasn't the Royal Nepalese Army deployed? Why the curfew was only nnounced at 2PM? The answers to many of these questions we may never find out but there are some clues about who heinstigators were of the arson attacks against Muslims. Comparing the photographs taken by Kathmandu's photojournalists and posted on various news websites and news channels during the anti-regression protests by the Nepali Congress (Girija faction) and those on Sept. 1st, we see the same faces. September 1st attacks against Muslims was not the work of Hindu fundamentalists as is commonly believed, but of political parties interested in spreading chaos on the streets of Kathmandu. Three days earlier, on August 29th the same oodlums had gone on the rampage on a bandh called by the Nepali Congress over the incident at the airport in which Girija Koirala was not allowed to take his car to the plane to fly to Biratnagar. Eleven cars were burnt and vandalized on the streets of Kathmandu on August 29th. The same gangs were taking part in burning tires and throwing stones on the streets in anti-regression riots.The police knew the people who were ransacking the mosque, yet they didn't do anything. Take a look at these pictures and judge for yourself.
