My condolence to Brigadier Thamilchelvan's family & every other.
Today is a very sad day for all the Tamils but we will overcome this.
The Sinhala chauvinist government will soon realise that by killing somebody of political, they invite the same response back.
We all know LTTE has moved away from targeting political heads just to please the international community and for the sake of peace process but now LTTE got the green light to take on Mahinda & Co

LTTE is a ruthless terrorist outfit which holds onto ideologies based on extreme tribalism. The outfit has been fighting against Sri Lankan citizens demanding a mono ethnic separate homeland for the Tamils since 1983. In its bloody terror campaign the outfit has killed over 65,000 lives including one former president of the country.

In May 1993 LTTE killed President Ranasingha Premadasa in a suicide bomb blast in Colombo. Then in 1991 former Indian Prime Minster of India, Rajeev Ghandi was killed in a similar suicide blast in Tamilnadu by an LTTE female cadre. Again in 1999, LTTE attempted to assassinate then President Chandrika Kumaranathunge in another suicide blast in Colombo.

In the its most recent atrocities LTTE assassinated country's then foreign minister Lakshman Kadiragamar in a sniper attack in August 2005. Then in May last year (2006) present Army commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka survived a brutal assassination attempt by LTTE which was carried out by a pregnant suicide bomber in the Army Headquarters, Colombo. Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa also had a narrow escape in last December when an LTTE suicide bomber rammed an explosive laden three-wheeler at his personal vehicle again in Colombo.
