YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar's military ruler set conditions on Thursday for meeting detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, as security forces continued to round up people and interrogate hundreds more arrested in a ruthless crackdown on protesters.
In the first official remarks since a visit by U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari this week, junta chief Than Shwe said he would hold direct talks with Suu Kyi if she publicly agreed to four conditions.
Suu Kyi must abandon her "obstructive measures" and support for sanctions as well as her positions that were "confrontational" and for "utter devastation," according to state television.
