The only question now is,
will LTTE leaders flee overseas,
fight to the end, commit suicide,
or surrender.
Mahinda Rajapakse said he would return home as "a leader of a nation that crushed terrorism".
"I am proud to announce... that my government with the total commitment of our armed forces, has in an unprecedented humanitarian operation, finally defeated the LTTE [Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam] militarily," he said.
Earlier, the military had said that the group's remaining fighters were surrounded with no chance of escape.
"After this linking up of two [army] divisions ... We have completely denied the LTTE's Sea Tigers access to the sea," Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, the defence ministry spokesman, told Al Jazeera.
"The LTTE have no other choice but to surrender or commit suicide."

Some dust and fat remains. The world is waiting for this to settle.
In the meanwhile, the LTTE terrorist's and it's supporting Diaspora's claim that "world tamils support the cause and utopian eelam" got jam on the face during Indian election.
One of the biggest LTTE supporter , Vaiko, who secretly went to Sri Lanka during LTTE was in full force, and posed for photos in the terrorist's uniform was defeated for a margin of around 50,000 votes. So are other LTTE loud supporters in the Indian state of Tamilnadu
