Prabhakaran dead! Body found!
- Karuna Amman
[14th January]
Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is dead says leader of the Tamileela
Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal( TMVP) and former military leader of the tiger
organization for Eastern Province, Karuna Amman.
Speaking to our re****ter yesterday, Karuna Amman said more than 500 top
level cadres of the Wanni tiger organization died when tsunami waves
battered the coastal belt in Sri Lanka on 26th December and among them
were
Piriharan and Pottuamman.
Priharan's body was found on the 12th at about 11.30 a.m. A group of tiger
members who had been searching for his body using a few boats that
survived
tsunami waves found the body said Karuna. Though the body was in a
decomposed stage the tiger members were able to recognize it as that of
Piriharan's. My associates in Wanni had informed me that top tiger leaders
who have survived tsunami had been looking for Piriharan for the last few
weeks.
Death of Pottuamman and his deputy had been re****ted even earlier. The VIP
funeral that was held at 'Maha Weera' memorial was held for Pottuamman.
Many
expected Piriharan to participate at this ceremony. But what really
happened
was Balraj read a message said to be from Priharan. Many of the
underground
quarters have been filled with water. Mulativu hospital which treats only
the tiger elite has been completely destroyed. Pottuamman died while he
was
there.
However, tiger organization will not announce these deaths. What they say
is
their leader is hiding in a safe hideout. Can we believe that there is a
threat that he canot come out for a few seconds, face a video camera and
get
back into his hiding place? I challenge! If Piriharan is alive, let him
video a statement about the latest situation and issue it to the public.
It is very clear. If he is the liberator of the Tamil people he should
come
forward now. But how can a dead person appear in video?
This is how Karuna Amman spoke about Prabhakaran's death. However, tiger
organization states there hasn't been any harm to their leader.
