Norway urges Tigers to stop using child soldiers

NORWAY: Norway's peace envoy to Sri Lanka on Wednesday urged LTTE terrorists to stop using child soldiers and said international patience with the conflict was running thin.

"There are persons under 18 years of age among the Tigers, that is true," Jon Hanssen-Bauer told The Associated Press in an interview. "It is important that they stop using children and that they gradually find a way to reinsert these child soldiers, eventually, into the society."
