Lanka, LTTE move closer to deal on tsunami aid
Tamil Tiger rebels and the Sri Lankan government are close to agreement on cooperation in the distribution of relief aid to tsunami survivors, sources close to the rebels said Thursday.
A decision could be announced before a top Tiger rebel peace negotiator returns to his base in London at the weekend, the sources said adding there was intense international pressure on both parties to work together.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief negotiator Anton Balasingham is expected at the country's only international airport near here Saturday before heading back to London, the sources said.
