COLOMBO: Sri Lanka`s military commander left the United States ahead of possible questioning over alleged war crimes committed during the defeat of the island`s Tamil rebels, a legislator said Wednesday.
General Sarath Fonseka headed back to Sri Lanka without facing questioning by the Department of Homeland Security later in the day, Samantha Vidyaratne told parliament.
`In the same way this brave soldier rid the country of terrorism, he is now on his way home without betraying the nation,` Vidyaratne said.
Fonseka holds US permanent residency and travelled to the US last week to visit his daughters in Oklahoma.
Sri Lanka said on Monday that it feared US authorities were trying to force Fonseka to provide evidence against Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse over the allegations of human rights violations.
The defence secretary, who holds US citizenship, is the younger brother of President Mahinda Rajapakse.
Sri Lankan troops in May killed the leaders of the Tamil Tigers, ending one of Asia`s longest-running and bloodiest insurgencies that aimed to create a separate homeland for the island`s Tamil minority.
A US State Department report presented to Congress last month charged that both the government and Tamil Tigers committed serious human rights violations in the final months of the conflict.
The UN reported that more than 7,000 civilians may have perished in the fighting during this year. The Sri Lankan government contends that no civilians were killed by its troops.

No recognition even after death -

Karuna - ''I was the military commander,'' he said in the interview. ''Prabhakaran never came to the battlefield. I was always on the battlefield. That was my duty.''


Karuna said Prabhakaran made four big mistakes.

1. He did not go along with the India-Sri Lanka Accord of 1987 to end the war and fought with the Indian army sent to Sri Lanka as a peacekeeping force by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

2. Killing Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. That made India ban the LTTE, and 26 other countries followed suit.

3. Rejecting a federal solution (to Sri Lanka's ethnic problem) when that prospect emerged (during negotiations in Oslo in December 2002).''

4. Karuna, laughing, said the fourth big mistake was ''losing me.''

Poor Velu...
