Prabhakaran is currently wanted by Interpol for terrorism, murder, organized crime and terrorism conspiracy.[2] He also has arrest warrents against him in Sri Lanka and India. After evading capture for 25 years, the Sri Lankan government announced in May 2009 that Prabhakaran and several other senior Tamil Tiger leaders were trapped in a small stretch of land on the Mullaithivu coast. On May 17, 2009, Sri Lanka's government announced that Prabhakaran is dead.[3].

Prabhakaran: the man is dead, the myth destroyedMay 21, 2009 12:04 pm
Velupillai Prabhakaran may not have visualised his own macabre end as a mud-covered and practically naked corpse on a makeshift stretcher, but that is how it turned out to be. Despite the inherently cruel voyeurism of officially publishing the pictures of his body, Sri Lanka had to do so if only to prevent mythologies from being built around someone whose childhood hero was ‘Phantom: the ghost who walks’.
The photographs displayed on the website of Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Defence, Public Security, Law and Order, offer some telling insights into the final moments of the world’s most ruthless insurgent.
The personal effects recovered from Prabhakaran included a Thuraya satellite phone, a preferred means of communication among terrorists and insurgents, a pistol, a dog tag, and his Tamil Tigers identity card.
It is extraordinary that an official agency of a sovereign government would find it appropriate to use the kind of description accompanying the photographs. It is gloating and derisive in its tone.
“Ironically, he was found with no cyanide capsule, but with his identity card and the dog tag, as to prove his identity if he managed to seek refuge with some unknown saviour. He was certainly not a man enough to fight a single battle against (the) Army. Instead, he tried to save his life until the last moment. Not for a single second he wanted to commit suicide, he tried to escape betraying his most loyal followers before a soldier shot him down. We are not going to comment on how he died..... Simply, he was the best of the cowards.”
According to the ministry, Prabhakaran’s body was identified by Vinayagamoorthi Muralidaran, the minister of national integration and reconciliation, who once fought for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), and Daya Master, its former media spokesman.
<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 />Colombo’s entire claim of victory rested on it effectively carrying out a version of the habeas corpus. Without the physical evidence of his death, the Sri Lankan government would have found it impossible to lend its campaign a persuasive closure. It is instructive that even with the pictures of the body being published, the sympathisers of the Tamil Tigers have claimed that Prabhakaran is still “alive and safe.”
The purpose behind not sanitising the photos seemed to be to convey to his surviving followers that in the final analysis their hero was nothing more than an ordinary mortal who hid behind a carefully cultivated persona. That is unlikely to deter the remaining members of the Tamil Tigers outside Sri Lankafrom believing that what was on display was an imposter and not the real Prabhakaran.
It is not clear whether his body will be handed over to his family or kept for more tests. It is not inconceivable that the Sri Lankan government may apprehend that handing over the body could lead to a troublesome funeral.
There were reports soon after the fall of Kilinochchi, the LTTE capital, in January that Prabhakaran had sent away his wife Madivadani and 10-year-old son Balachandran. It was not known where they might have gone but they can rightfully claim his remains. Whether Colombo will oblige is another matter since it is fraught with problems. - (The Hindu/IANS).

The Media Centre for National Security (MCNS) Director General Lakshman Hulugalle confirmed the report saying: “His body was treated like that of any other terrorist and cremated. That is all we have been informed,” he said.
.

However, it is expected that guerrilla type attacks by infiltrated Tigers will occur for a while, like the ones that happen in Buttala area time to time even now.

After all, Tiger leadership in foreign countries are still live and kicking.

"Yes azzay !War is Over here Sri Lanka.No more Violence !"

You are WRONG!

Violence by LTTE is over. But Violence against Innocent Tamil civilians by the Goverment will still continue! LTTE only came into play in 1983. But the state sponsored violence against Tamils was there from 1948. This is a 'victory' for the State Terrorism.

The Sinhalese majority wil discriminate the tamils as always.

There are thousands of Tamil civilians killed. But the government doesn't care about these people.

Reason for victory?

Any Sri Lankan leaders worried about the killed and wouded civilians in 'no-fire' zone?

Are there any wouded left? It is not a surprise if the army killed them all!!

Yup. Now the free money stops. If the UK sends all the "asylees" back, then they will have to WORK ('o'rrkk?) to feed themselves.

Only option left is to scream "pesticide" and "discrimination" in the top of the lungs. Maybe the host government, unable to tolerate the nuisance , allow to continue the stay till the expiry date reaches.

Ammaa..thaayeee..!!

Western countries what, you ghetto baboon? Don't even tell me what "western countries" are doing. Since parasite porks like you are infested Europe and Americas, doing just 4 hours "part/part/part" time job in a week or living on un-employment cheques taken out of real hardworking taxpayer's money, all the jobs are coming to countries like ours. You know, to Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Filipinas etc. Some goes to Ireland, South Africa and Poland. What can you do? Cry” recession" and again stand in front of the employment/ welfare (I don't know what that hellhole is - I never had to a place like that) cheque distribution center?

Between you and me, Today I have give offer letter for job to four Malaysians and Two Indian's for our operation group starting soon in Asia. You know what - those jobs are shifted from one of your "western" country to APAC region. Because people from these countries can do the job more efficiently and much cost effectively.

We don't waste resources (food, papers, water, electricity or fuel) like you uneducated ones. We do have a supporting structure unlike creeps like you who don't even know whether your own dad is black, while, yellow, pink or orange.

Stop moaning and start doing something useful. Learn typing or acquire some skill that will "actually" help you to earn some money.

Have a great day, loser.

I think you are right my friend, i dont think Prabhakaran will let himself till the end to be killed, he must have escaped, remember his son was educated in America to build submarines, i think they fled in that, also t took as many civillians with them, 25,000 apparently as much as they could, eventhough i am not a supporter of the terrorist group, Ltte, i do not believe that they were the ones who used phosperous againt the civillians, i must admit that i think its the government, as they realeashed news of Ltte having gas bombs months ago and used this as an excuse to attack the civillians.

I also hate to say majority of Sinhaleese people are against tamils, like already events are happening abduction, rape and murder, and yet its been a couple of days.

Eventhough i myself is a sinhaleese i don't think anyone deserves this just because they have a differnt mother tongue.

Eventhough i do not like tamils, i dont think they deserved this, i think there should be different states, before Ltte returns and destroys our peace, our land like the government done to "Tamil Eelam". As Ltte is very revengeful, it is said that Prabhakaran started to protest as he had seen women getting raped with his own eyes, as he was not heard, he started this terrorist campaign.

I hope nothing bad happens to the sinhaleese community

So i think there should be anouther state for tamil separately eventhough Sri Lanka isnt that big.

Pure SriLankan Sinhaleese Person
