YANGON, Aug 15 (AP): Witnesses say US Senator Jim Webb is meeting with democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, her first talks with a foreign official since being sentenced this week to more house arrest.
The witnesses said Suu Kyi was driven Saturday to a government guest house not far from her residence for a meeting with Webb, who is on a three-day visit to Myanmar.
The witnesses declined to be identified by name, fearing reprisals in the military-run state.
