COLOMBO (AFX) - Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers will hold talks with the Colombo government on salvaging their truce 'in a couple of weeks' in Norway, Agence France Presse reported a pro-rebel website quoted the separatists' top negotiator as saying.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) wrote to peace broker Norway agreeing to hold talks amid fears for the ceasefire following last week's assassination of Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, Tamilnet reported.
'The LTTEs theoretician (Anton Balasingham) revealed that the talks, facilitated by the Norwegians, would be held in Oslo within the next couple of weeks,' the Tamilnet website said.
