A top Nepalese official has said that Nepal is to recall its ambassadors to 12 countries, including the United States, as political appointments made during King Gyanendra's autocratic rule are invalidated.The decision was made by the new cabinet installed last week after the king, in the face of mass protests, yielded power on April 24 and restored democratic rule. Envoys to India, Japan, Britain and France will also be brought home, said Home Minister Krishna Sitaula.
