LTTE warned that they would pull out of a 2002 ceasefire if the government persists with its military campaign.
Colombo: Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels said on Tuesday they have agreed to unconditional talks with the government, but warned they will pull out of a 2002 ceasefire if the government persists with its military campaign.
"We have said that we are ready for talks. We have not placed any conditions and neither has the government," LTTE spokesman, Daya Master, told The Associated Press.
He was speaking after Norway's peace envoy, Jon Hanssen-Bauer, met with the rebels' political wing head Suppia Thamilselvan to press for an end to recent bloodshed.
"But Mr Thamilselvan said one thing, that we will totally pull out of the ceasefire if the government continues to attack us," Master said.
