Sri Lanka re-opens door to peace talks
Colombo, Sri Lanka - The Sri Lankan government said on Wednesday it was committed to holding peace talks with Tamil Tiger rebels, provided the rebels agreed to "a comprehensive and verifiable cessation of hostilities".
Hopes for at least a lull in the fighting rose on Tuesday when mediators and donors announced that Colombo and the rebels had agreed to hold unconditional peace talks, and suggested the negotiations take place in Oslo in early October.
