UN envoy leaves Myanmar capital, no word on meeting

YANGON, Oct 2 (Reuters) United Nations envoy Ibrahim Gambari left Myanmar's new jungle capital today, where he was to have met military junta chief Than Shwe, a Yangon-based diplomat said.

However, there was no word on whether Gambari's scheduled audience with the bespectacled 74-year-old Senior General had actually taken place.

''We can assume that he has met the old man, but we don't know for sure,'' the diplomat said.
