Based on a mutual consent, a suitable venue for peace negotiations could be selected following the successful conclusion of the CFA [Ceasefire Agreement] talks… We are ready and willing to discuss the gaps in implementation of the CFA.”

The upsurge in violence came as LTTE political wing chief, S. P. Thamilselvan, warned that there could be more clashes with the navy unless truce monitors made arrangements for the outfit to have safe passage using sea lanes. He claimed the LTTE had repeatedly asked the Sri Lankan Monitoring Mission (SLMM) to make arrangements for them to travel over land and sea under an “agreed understanding reached earlier.” “Early action ... would avoid recurrence of such incidents,” he told the SLMM. Meanwhile, the LTTE denied allegations that they ambushed and killed the 15 navy sailors. “The Liberation Tigers were not involved in any activity that breaches the cease-fire agreement,” spokesperson Daya Master told The Associated Press by telephone from Kilinochchi.
