KATHMANDU May 6. Two persons, said to have worked in an ammunition factory in India, were shot dead by security forces inside a mosque in Nepal after authorities received a tip-off that explosives were hidden inside, officials said today.

Soldiers shot dead the two Muslim men yesterday as they tried to escape from the mosque in the village of Kudia in the southwestern district of Nawalparasi.
