At least more than 250 anti-government guerrillas were killed late Tuesday night by the government security forces in Nepal, the state-run Radio Nepal said Thursday morning.

At least 250 anti-government guerrillas were gunned down on the spot in late Tuesday night in Rolpa district in the Western Nepal, when a large group of the anti-government guerrillas attacked a temporary base of the security forces, the radio said.

Meanwhile 104 government security personnel were killed by theanti-government guerrillas during the fighting, the radio added.

More than 1,000 guerrillas and over 300 security personnel have been killed since the government imposed the state of emergency on November 26 last year following the series of attacksby the guerrillas on the government security forces after they broke a four-month-long cease-fire talks with the government on November 23 last year.

The Nepali government initiated peace talks with the guerrillas since August last year in order to find a peaceful solution to the six-year-long guerrillas insurgency that has claimed more than 3,000 lives, including policemen, guerrillas members and civilians, since it began in the Himalayan kingdom in 1996.

However, the three rounds of talks held were inconclusive as the guerrillas demanded the establishment of a republican state, an interim government and a new constitution, which were rejected by the government.
