According to CNN-IBN report, the world most dangerous terrorist group LTTE’s (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) chief leader Velupillai Prabhakaran was on Sunday shot dead by Sri Lankan military as he and some of his company tried to escape from the army encirclement. They also reported that his dead body has been recovered and is being taken to a military site in Colombo. An army spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said,
They (LTTE leaders) were all killed by the army during combat. They did not commit suicide. We are now in full control of the country.
Nanayakkara also said,
We believe Prabhakaran was amongst those 250 LTTE cadres who were killed. No DNA tests are to be carried out. We are identifying the bodies based on the intelligence information we have.
After the death of Prabhakarn, who is responsible for the death of thousand of innocents, the Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapakasa declared win over the LTTE after an almost three decade long civil battle. In a statement Sri Lankan President said,
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 militarily.
