Time for Nepal King to exile as Nepal Army fires again on thousands of demonstrators

Nepalese security forces opened fire Saturday as tens of thousands of protesters marched toward the king's palace to demand the end of royal rule, injuring at least four people. Dozens more were hurt by police wielding bamboo batons.

The clash came one day after King Gyanendra tried to defuse the Himalayan nation's political crisis by offering a return to multiparty democracy. His move, though, did not appease many of his opponents.

In the Kathmandu neighborhood of Thapathali, soldiers and police fired rubber bullets and live ammunition as a massive wave of protesters tried to head toward the palace, the symbolic heart of the city and the goal of tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters who had defied a daylong curfew to fill the city streets.
