According to the latest report received from Sri Lanka LTTE terrorists have committed a mass suicide after being effectively cut-off of escape routes, both land and sea and encircled in a mere 1.km of land West of Vellamullivaikkal, Apparently, the government has not been able to confirm this so far as positive identification is required by the authority and also awaiting for the President to return from Jordan and address the nation. Government sources said a final announcement of the rebel`s defeat was due to be made by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who is due back in Sri Lanka Sunday morning. Meanwhile the kith and kin of LTTE top leaders including that of VP have moved already to the Army held area apparently with forged identities. The army is now in the process of screening them and identifying them. Soosai earlier reported to have literally handed-over his family to the Navy (but media reported as captured by the Navy). Some of the self-appointed LTTE Colonels, middle range leaders and regional level leaders have already been surrendered to SLA. Five self proclaimed `Government Doctors` who had been with Prabhakaran, have also turned themselves up in to the forces, they are, in fact, LTTE cadres turned medically trained doctors. One has been the man who gave fabricated stories to Al Jazeera and BBC. They have not wanted their photos shown to the media. Meanwhile Sri Lankans are preparing for a grand scale island-wide celebration tomorrow to commemorate the defeat of Tamil terrorism in the Island and reports coming from Colombo say national flags and fire crackers are already sold out throughout the Island.
