LTTE gives glimpse of long-awaited proposal
A guerrilla leader has given Tamil parliamentarians a glimpse of the proposals they are due to make to the Government next week.

LTTE Political Wing leader S.P. Thamilselvan told nine MPs of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) that the proposed interim administrative structure would seek to incorporate powers relating to land use, security, revenue, police and judiciary.

Nine TNA parliamentarians led by R. Sampanthan (Trincomalee district) met Mr. Thamilselvan at the LTTE Peace Secretariat in Kilinochchi. Mr. Thamilselvan told the MPs he was unable to give them details of the proposals. He had said these parliamentarians should campaign to generate public support in their areas for the LTTE demands.

Norway's Ambassador in Sri Lanka, Hans Brattskar, is due to fly to Kilinochchi on Friday (October 31) to collect LTTE's proposals and later hand it over to the UNF Government. The next day (November 1), Mr. Thamilselvan is due to hold a news conference to announce the full text of the proposals. Colombo-based foreign correspondents and representatives of the local media are to be invited to this event.
