Subsequent to the attack, the air force monitored movements around the target trying to clear the debris.'
'Though the air force believed that Velupillai Pirapaharan had been hit in this attack, non availability of ground information to confirm such at that time prevented the government from releasing this information to the media,' the government statement said.
Happy and Still excited in 2008
A well respected Hindu astrologer from Karnataka, India, Mr. A. K. P. Theventhra Rajh predicts that between November 8 and 15, 2008 is a very critical period for Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the Tamil Tigers, the terrorist group fighting to carve out a separate state for the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka. Speaking to some local media people, Mr. Theventhra Rajh has reportedly told that Prabhakaran is seriously ill due to stress caused by the constant fear for his life. Prabhakaran, who is also a chronic diabetic, requires regular insulin shots, which has been disrupted owing to constant change of hideout due to aerial bombing by the SL forces.
However, Mr. Theventhra Rajh predicts that Prabhakaran s death will come not from the SL forces, but from a natural cause, more likely due to a heart attack, or stroke resulting from diabetic complications. Mr. Theventhra Rajh has been consulted by a group of LTTE sympathizers in Tamil Nadu, along with several members of the Tamil National Alliance, who had visited the famous Hindu astrologer last week to conduct a Krishna pooja to bestow blessings on Prbhakaran. Following this unexpected discloser of the impeding doom of the LTTE leader, the visitors had left the temple in tears, and had urged the others who were present during the pooja not to speak to any media person. However, it was Mr. Theventhra Rajh himself who later informed the media. Mr. Theventhra Rajh is a very popular astrologer among both Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka |
