Part of Himalayan Expedition Arrives Home Safely

Ljubljana, 1 November - Seven of the nine Slovenian members of an expedition to the Himalayas arrived safely in Slovenia on Friday, POP TV reported. The expedition were trapped under Wedge Peak for days, afraid to walk to the valley for fear of Maoist rebels that threatened them on the ascent. The seven were choppered from the mountain, while two are still there because they have no money for helicopter transport.
