Tamil Tigers submit blueprint for peace
Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels yesterday gave peacebroker Norway their first ever blueprint for power-sharing aimed at ending three decades of ethnic bloodshed, a guerrilla spokesman said.

The rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said they gave the Norwegian ambassador, Hans Brattskar, a proposal to set up an "interim administration" for embattled regions.

"Political wing leader S. P. Thamilselvan handed over the proposals to Ambassador Brattskar and they went in for discussions thereafter," spokesman Daya Master said by telephone from the rebel-held town of Kilinochchi, 330km north of Colombo.

Heck, no one in the world wants peace especially The Bush Crime Family! The revenue loss from GOP arms sales is not an option!

1. Interesting step....
especially about the Muslim population...
I doubt they trust LTTE since the Tigers have been known to kill Tamil opposition/alternatives...
we'll have to wait and see..

2. The truce has lasted quite a while now,
and these proposals sound reasonable enough.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
