Tamils 'committed to peace process'
Tamil Tiger rebels said today they were committed to a Norwegian-brokered cease-fire, allaying fears that a power struggle between Sri Lanka’s president and prime minister would plunge the tropical island back into civil war.
“We are keen to continue with the peace talks,” the rebels’ political wing leader, S.P. Thamilselvan told reporters after two Norwegian peace envoys met with rebel leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran in the northern rebel capital of Kilinochchi.
