“Anarchy” in Sri Lanka as Tokyo peace envoy set to arrive
A Japanese peace envoy was to arrive in Sri Lanka for talks as Scandinavian monitors said violence between government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels was out of control. Tokyo’s special peace envoy Yasushi Akashi was to hold talks with President Mahinda Rajapakse and would also try to meet leaders of the Tamil Tigers during his four-day visit, the Japanese embassy said Saturday. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060506/ts_afp/srilankaunrest_060506122407;_ylt=AqSq.5KkSFmuriGArIzU10MtM8oA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl
