Radio reports said the National Liberation Army called local journalists and claimed responsibility.
"They will stay and call themselves the 'National Liberation Army.' "
The National Liberation Army has already threatened to fight back if this happens.
That warning, the official said, is not to deal gently with the National Liberation Army.
The rebels, the National Liberation Army, number between 1,000 and 1,500.
National Liberation Army is the name of several groups:
By early yesterday, the National Liberation Army had freed 84 people, including about 21 children.
"We should not create conditions that could reactivate the National Liberation Army," he said.
But the only evidence we have at the moment is that weapons are being collected and the National Liberation Army has been disbanded.
The rebel group, the National Liberation Army, said it would resume talks without conditions.
