LTTE assures support to defuse crisis
The LTTE has assured the Government that it would extend its fullest support to ease the violence in the Eastern Province, a spokesman for the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission said yesterday.

He said the assurance had been given during a meeting between LTTE political wing leader S P. Thamilchelvan and the Head of the Monitoring Mission General Trond Furuhovd on Friday.

SLMM spokesman Teitur Torkelsson told The Sunday Times the LTTE promised it would assist the government to ease the situation and to avoid more confrontation.
Meanwhile, following discussions with the LTTE, General Furuhovd was scheduled to hold talks with Peace Secretariat chief Bernard Gunathilake last night.
