UN chief to meet TNA leaders
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has granted the pro-LTTE Tamil National Alliance (TNA) a separate audience with him outside the all-party meeting he is scheduled to have in Colombo this morning, senior TNA leader R. Sambanthan told The Sunday Times last night.

Earlier reports were that the TNA had been refused a separate meeting with the UN Chief who was only to meet President Chandrika Kumaratunga last night and Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe this morning, separately.

Mr. Sambanthan and Gajan Ponnambalam are to represent the TNA at the 8 am meeting which will precede a meeting of all-party leaders at which the UNP will be represented by Deputy Leader Karu Jayasuriya.

The TNA leaders are likely to go to Wanni soon for a meeting with LTTE political wing leader S.P. Thamilselvan. This will be the first meeting between the TNA and LTTE since the tsunami catastrophe.
