Only 3 LTTE leaders, other than Prabhakaran and his wife, knew of his whereabouts. Other than his son Charles Anthony, the only other LTTE leaders who knew where he was was Poddu Ammaan, the Intelligence Chief and the head of the LTTE`s Medical Unit, Reagan.
The latter was taken in and detained for days until Military Intelligence got hold of him. Until then Regan had pretended he did not know Prabhakaran`s whereabouts. Thanks to Reagan`s information, MI officers had clearly identified Prabhakaran`s lair by 16th evening/17th dawn.
They uncovered an elaborate plan by Prabhakaran and gang to breach the 53 FDL. The plan was to cross the lagoon to Mullaitivu-Weli Oya Jungles, from there to reach the Eastern Province (Batticaloa/Ampara) via Trincomalee, where `Colonel` Ram`s team was waiting.
Within hours of this warning, on 17th May at dawn, Tigers had started their final operation. A daring sea borne operation was launched. All Army Divisions, forewarned, reacted swiftly but the Tigers managed to breach the FDL of the 53 Division at its weakest and take-out several bunkers killing 15 SLA. They also seized an Army Ambulance.
Moments later, the 53 Division retaliated. A hail of RPG HEAT/Thermobaric rockets were fired. Around 200 LTTE cadres had died in the attack. 30 bodies were reduced to ashes. Limbs of the LTTE`s best were scattered all over the place. The captured ambulance was also hit in the melee and burnt swiftly.
It was upon investigating the ambulance that 3 bodies, one of which resembled Prabhakaran`s body structure was discovered. The body was blackened and beyond facial/physical recognition. But the Army knew it may very well be Prabhakaran. There was no other way for him to escape.
Prabhakaran should have been killed either in the box-in by the Special Forces, the retaliation by the 53 or he should have died injured somewhere along the lagoon. The closest to his remains have been found only inside the charred ambulance.
One of the hardcore cadres captured alive in the attack claimed Prabhakaran was shot and injured in the fight. But he had heard it from an eyewitness, another hardcore cadre who was killed.
The charred bodies, including the one believed to be Prabhakaran were captured by the 53 Division, but were taken away by another Division.
Some 400 bodies were captured by the Army. 1,2, and 5 Special Forces led the clearing operation. The remains may include, in future, missing leaders from the list publicized by the government such as Lawrence, Karikalan, Papa, Ilanthirayan etc.
The remains of top leaders like Poddu, Bhanu and Soosei were identified. Soosei was fighting till 17th evening until the Special Forces rid him of his mysery once and for all. He and Swarnam were the last brave LTTE leaders who held their ground and fought while others were trying to flee the scene.
The fate of the `missing` tiger leaders from the publicized government list will be `filled` in due course!

Any Life is precious including theirs. May they attain Nibbana!
Also, all who lost lives in this unnecessary battle (Civilians, Soldiers or the Terrorists) were never forgotton. We shall make monuments in your names, as you were honest to stand on the cause and the solutions, whether it is correct or wrong.
By saying that, Mr. Prabhakaran, I would like to ask you some questions ?
1. You started the struggle after finding that Sinhalese will never stop giving your rights. Would you be able to tell how many lives we lost due to the ethnic problems in between 1948 and 1976 ?
2. You had an intelligent son, who could contribute to the so called 'problems' by demanding it in a peaceful way. Why you allow him to be like you to get likked for nothing?
3. See the Living Standards in Wanni. What did you do to innocent civilians within last 30 Years. I feel like you treat them as animals who breed child soldiers to fight for your dreams.
4. Why did not you agree for a Federal State ? Did you think that it is not fulfilling your dream ?
5. We all would have done better, if we did not have this blood bath for past 30 years. Don't you think that, atleast there would have been changes happen in past 30 years towards the requests and complains from minority ?
6. Don't you think that, Wanni may had university by this time, may be a port or may be a better standard of living than what you left for them ?
7. Your nationalism was strictly Tamil Only, and that is a very ugly thing. If you could think little bit differently atleast few years back, we would have started to live in happiness like brothers. Your Egoistic Mind did not allow you to think rationally, and accept the realities. That is what happened to you. There are Sinhalese, who wants federalism, but not to the hand of LTTE or their Proxies.
Tell me, what you want to achieve by having a separate land by killing thousands of people ? Specially, the history clearly says that this land belong to all of us but not to Thamilians or Sinhalese.
Any way, May you attain Nibbana, and in your next birth please be kind to all nationalities, as you may again born as a human. |

MoneyTalks is asking questions from a dead Rat? Or are you talking to yourself? Get REAL. And, NO, there is NO rebirth, never has been.
I remember a child being paraded around Colombo once saying he was the reincarnation of Premadasa and few years later Karu Jayasuriya claimed he saw Premadasa in a dream requesting him to save the UNP. How could a man reborn couple of years after his death ALSO appear in a dream four years later? And it was after seeing the dream that Karu turned his back on Ranil - upto that time he'd said he would never work against Ranil since it was Ranil who brought him to politics.
How stupid can people get?

The tamils have been saved from Prabakaran, the tamil killing machine. When was he ever concerned about tamils?
The following will show his 'love' for tamils
-Known to be biggest killer of tamils
-5000 EPRLF tamils killed
-1500 Mahattaya tamil supporters killed in 90's
-Human Right watch in March '06 says LTTE killed 2 tamils a day ( 500 in the previous 2 years)
-Killed at least 36 prominent tamil politiciens
-20,000 kids abducted amid the screams of parents and sacrificed
-More than 375 suicide bombers
-In early 80's he killed many LTTE leaders who were a threat to him ( Kelvian Kadu Chetty, Micheal, Pat Kunam, Sabalingam)
-40,000 tamil civilians kept as human shields in Varakai in eastern province and more than 200,000 in Vanni. VP prefered them dead but most are enjoying life now!
-8000 student who sat GCSE exams forcibly enlisted in '08 and now most killed in war
-227 LTTE injured cadres shot dead in Killinochchi as they could not be taken away when army came
-on 24/3/09 550 kids forcibly taken away from a church
-On 10/2/09 17 tamil civilians killed trying to flee and since then many more killed/ shot even burned !
-Now more than 100,000 tamils kept as hostage and ready to sacrifice them
These are killings of an organisation who claim to be sole representatives!!
Any tamil who questioned the wisdom of a grade 5 drop out was labelled a traitor and killed!
Prof James Jupp- Australia 'Prabakaran is a psychopathic killer. He lives to kill and kills to live'
Compared to Prabakaran, Idi Amin was a saint!
Even Saddam kept westerners as hostages not his own people !
Hitler killed 6 million Jews but did not kill of his own!
Having the audacity to kill even the caders who fought for him and many previous LTTE leaders what chance do ordinary poor tamils have ?
This tamil curse had to be eliminated for the sake of innocent tamils. SL army has done for the tamils and for the whole of Lanka!

This is shamefulThis article if you can call it that is an absolute lie.
Either somebody is feeding 'porky s' to DW or he has some mental health problems that needs to be checked very quickly.
This is really dreadful...I'm out of here, and probably not coming back.
Whatever your problems are, or whoever your problems are with, you should be truthful and honest with your readership. If you don t have the truth, you don t have to publish bullshit just to keep a few gullible fools happy. Idiotic fool!
Thuk witarak!

I strongly agree with MoneyTalks.Life is valuable..even of a terrorist.
Before accusing,one should uphold the reason why Vellupillai Pabhakaran was forced to walk on such rugged path......!! It is not his own choice but he was rather forced to do so because of the discriminatory attitude by the majority community.If he had a good leadership and was taught the value of life he will not become a terrorist.
Prabakaran, May you be forgiven for the killings and may you rest in peace.

| Most of the tamils waiting for EElam have been hoodwinked by Prabakaran. At least from now onwards use your brains to think back and see how he was using innocent tamils as a shield to meet his selfish ends. Some of the tamils are still waiting with a glimpse of hope to see what will happen next. |
