Suu Kyi 'to meet Burma official'



Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has reportedly left her home - where she is under house arrest - to hold talks with a government official.
She was taken to meet Aung Kyi, a retired general recently appointed to liaise with her, diplomats say.

Aung Kyi was given the post earlier this month in an apparent concession to the international community.

Burma's junta has been heavily criticised by the UN for its crackdown on anti-government protests last month.
