Nepal coup
************
From: _w.t.douglas@ABDN.AC.UK_ (mailto:w.t.douglas@ABDN.AC.UK)
King Gyanendra has dissolved the constitutional government in Nepal.
According to the BBC phone lines have been cut and the airport is
closed. It is not clear what has happened to those who held elected
offices or leading members of the political parties.
