Nepal Maoists say close to new deal with Govt

Katmandu, Sep 25 2007: Nepal's Maoist chief Prachanda said on Monday that the former guerrillas were close to a new deal with the government, a week after quitting the cabinet demanding an immediate declaration of a republic.

The Maoists pulled out of the ruling coalition last week insisting that the Himalayan nation be turned into a republic and vowed to stop the Nov. 22 polls aimed at deciding the fate of the monarchy.
