Nadesan, Judicial Administrator S.Pararajasingam and the Educational Administrator Illankumaran will also accompany the political chief in his European tour.

The Norwegian envoy in Colombo Hans Braksttar visited Kilinochchi yesterday and had discussions with Thamilselvan. Braksttar also talked with Thamilselvan over the shooting incidents in the East where some of the LTTE women cadres came under attack.
