Sri Lanka opposition mulls move

Opposition politicians in Sri Lanka have begun talks to decide on their course of action following the arrest of the defeated presidential candidate.
General Sarath Fonseka was arrested at his office in the capital, Colombo on Tuesday evening.
The government said the general would be questioned and put on trial in a military court.
Gen Fonseka was defeated by incumbent Mahinda Rajapaksa last month by six million votes to four million.
He rejected the results and vowed to challenge them in court.
