At least one person was killed and a statue of the former King, late Mahendra, father of King Gyanendra, was completely destroyed when a powerful bomb exploded at the busy Kalimati Street early this morning, police said. The bomb planted by suspected Maoists exploded at 5.15 a.m., leaving at least one person killed and 10 others, including two policemen injured, officials at the Kalimati police station said.
