Sri Lankan Govt claims LTTE chief Prabakaran was killed in action , trying to break the Sri Lankan defence .The announcements will be made final after DNA testing is done and the body identified . Celebrations have already started in Sri Lanka as there are reports of spordic protests and voilence in Tamil Nadu . I have been advised not to travel around for a while

and sit at home .

Update

Quote:

State television broke into its regular programming to announce Prabhakaran's death, and the government information department sent a text message to cell phones across the country confirming he was killed along with top deputies, Soosai and Pottu Amman.

He and his top deputies then drove an armor-plated van accompanied by a bus filled with rebel fighters toward approaching Sri Lankan forces, sparking a two-hour firefight, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Troops eventually fired a rocket at the van, ending the battle, they said. Troops pulled Prabhakaran's body from the van and identified it as that of the rebel leader, they said. The attack also killed Soosai, the head of the rebels' naval wing, and Pottu Amman, the group's feared intelligence commander, the officials said.

I heard somewhere that he was shot while fleeing...so what was all about cyanide capsule in case of dire situations?

After all he was killed like a coward he was.

p,s Don't think I support LTTE or anything.

It was more than 22 years ago that the IPKF went to Sri Lanka to neutralise the LTTE.
whatever be the end, there would forever be a chapter on LTTE in the history books, alteast for their use of female fighters and their networking abilities.
Prabhakaran today is well past his prime age and as news suggests, was also suffering from cancer. He also lost most of his close comrades.
The victory would have been really glorious had it come some 20 years ago.

You are right on that one. Who cares, so long as he died. Secondly people will now probably make him a martyr, that is a bit worrying.

You see what happened was, they actually intended to use those
cyanide capsules. When they took the capsules out of the package
they noticed the expiration date on those capsules had passed.
After all it had been hanging around their necks for 20 years.
They didn't want to take a risk of some allergic reaction if they took them.

Important lesson : It is always good to discard expired medication.

If Prabhakaran is dead, they were just waiting for the election results. If they killed him, they didn't exactly a day after election results. They just declared now.

Predictably LTTE claims prabakaran is alive !

TOI

05-19-09, 02:21 PM

They will never accept he is dead unless Srilankan army proves it.

Nothing wrong if people do that also at last he was fighting for a cause which was justified, and for whom he was fighting all started to give up knowing that too he fought a losing battle instead of fleeing.

It is difficult to win using weapons when you are fighting a mightier enemy. Still fighting for a cause is justified even if someone looses. But killing a powerful country's prominent politician was surely a wrong move, what ever be the reason.

Still they managed to had a strong hold for more than 20 years, only terrorist group in world which had its own Air Wing and Water Wing.
Sri Lankan Army became mightier just a year ago only and that too with other countries support..

Velupillai Prabakaran and his organization wanted to end each and everyone coming in their way, and their they made a Big Mistake by assassinating Rajiv Gandhi
