Sri Lankan Military Declares Tamil Tigers Leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is Dead

The Sri Lankan military has said that their nearly three-decade long war with the Tamil Tigers has ended and that the rebel leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran, has been killed.

Over the past several weeks the military had been using an aggressive push to finally end the 26-year war and that push pinned a diminished force of rebels into a small area of jungle in the country’s northeast region. The military, determined to finish the Tigers, didn’t let up and it was during the final battle that Prabhakaran was shot and killed.

While the military has declared the leader dead there have been no photos of the body and no reporters have been able to verify the death.

Prabhakran had led the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) since its creation as he fought for an independent state for the minority Tamils. More than 70,000 people have died since that fight began while hundreds of thousands have been displaced.
