UNP, TULF reiterate call for talks with LTTE "Nallur bomb was a clear signal" The UNP and TULF yesterday said that Friday's bloody attack at Nallur, Jaffna, was a clear signal to the government that it should resume unconditional negotiations with the LTTE. Senior spokesmen for the UNP and TULF said that the attack clearly demonstrates there would not be any peace without bringing the LTTE back to negotiations.
