Senior Sri Lankan official urges end to ceasefire
Sri Lanka's defence secretary called on Saturday for an end to a ceasefire between government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels saying the agreement had been violated so many times it had become a sham.Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa was quoted by the state run daily newspaper as saying the government should officially ban the Tamil Tiger rebels and scrap the ceasefire it signed with them. "The ceasefire agreement exists only on paper. Obviously we can see that there is no ceasefire. It has become a joke," Rajapaksa said.
