KATHMANDU, FEB. 18. Nepal's King Gyanendra today said he took power to protect democracy from Maoist rebels and political instability, as telephone lines were cut in the kingdom in an apparent bid to scuttle anti-King protests. Several political activists trying to stage a demonstration today were detained here by the security personnel. The political parties said their activists were detained while trying to carry out a demonstration coinciding with the National Democracy Day. The army and police are believed to be solidly behind the monarch, and analysts say the military planned the power grab. Hundreds of troops guarded the army ground where the King made his first major public appearance since his takeover, to mark the democracy day. — AP
