The UK-based Economist has often written about the Nepali conflict, but this one is incredibly different. This "Intelligence Unit Briefing" on Nepal, which reads like an official Downing Street dossier, actually reflects the UK's increasing alertness about the threat of terrorism and the significance of regional conflicts to the British populace. The report concluded with a positive note on the recent Baluwatar agreement: ...there is unity amid the optimism that with the insurgency almost at an end, the real business of building a modern Nepal can begin. But an interesting thing about this intelligence report is the apparent lack of intelligence on Nepal's army (see paragraph # 9): Is the Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) still around in Nepal?• Human rights must be central after pact, says UN, Reuters
