Nepal's Maoist rebel leader
Prachanda spoke exclusively
to the BBC

Meeting Nepal's Maoist leader

By Charles Haviland
BBC News

On Monday, Nepal's Maoist movement marks its 10th year of insurgency in the Himalayan kingdom.

In a rare move, the rebel leader, Prachanda, spoke out about the conflict that has claimed some 13,000 lives - and the possible exile or execution of Nepal's King Gyanendra.

It was difficult to believe that the man sitting modestly in the corner was Pushpa Kamal Dahal, better known under his nom-de-guerre of Prachanda ("The Fierce One").

This is a man whose face, until a few weeks ago, was known only through a single photograph, taken in rural Nepal in 2001.
