Sankoh hold talks with Taylor

    ABIDJAN

    RUF leader Foday Sankoh held talks on Tuesday with Liberian President Charles Taylor, sources in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, told IRIN on Wednesday.

    The visit was a casual one, but President Taylor wanted to express his wish that the peace process remains on course, Liberian Information Minster Joe Mulbah said.

    According to humanitarian sources in Monrovia, Sankoh told journalists as he was leaving the Executive Mansion that his relations with field commander Sam Bockarie were "cordial". Bockarie, who recently accused Sankoh of sending a death squad to kill him, had been expected in Monrovia but had not yet arrived, sources said.
