UN envoy ‘meets Burmese leaders’



UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari has met Burma’s military leaders and detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, diplomatic sources say.

Mr Gambari is attempting to mediate between the junta and the opposition, and end a bloody crackdown on mass pro-democracy protests.
