KATHMANDU, May 15 (Reuters) - Maoist guerrillas stormed a luxury tourist hotel in west Nepal and then exploded a bomb, damaging the building but hurting no one, police said on Saturday.

About 150 people, including Indians and other foreigners, were in the Fishtail Lodge, owned by the royal family, in Nepal's second city of Pokhara, 200 km (125 miles) west of Kathmandu, at the time.

"All guests and the staff rushed out before the explosion," a police spokesman said.

Always crowded with tourists, Pokhara is the gateway to some of the most popular trekking and mountaineering destinations in Nepal, including Mount Annapurna.

The attack came hours after soldiers killed a regional Maoist leader and his wife near Pokhara in a crackdown on the eight-year revolt that has killed more than 9,400 people.

The Maoists have been fighting since 1996 to topple the constitutional monarchy in the world's only Hindu kingdom.
