Vellupillai Prabhakaran chief of the banned terrorist organisation LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam) has reportedly commited suicide along with 300 or so tigers. Though there is no official news on this Sri Lankan television are full of this. It is also said that he commited suicide before his son did. Though he is disliked by many he is a sort of hero to Tamilians. My mobile is being bombarded with messages portraying him as an hero.
Since the last three months the LTTE was suffering severe setbacks as the Sri Lankan army was advancing rapidly with the aid form many foreign countries including India. The fate of the civilians who were trapped in the no fire zone is not fully known yet. It is believed that thousands have died.
A brief history:
Vellupillai Prabhakaran was born in Thanjavur a central district in Tamil Nadu, India. He was unhappy over the plight of Tamilians in Sri Lanka and decided to fight for their cause. He eliminated all those who were fighting for the same cause so that the effort and energy will be concentrated at a single place. Though his cause may seem noble his ways were not noble. He is the chief accussed in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India. It is also said that the Gandhi Family went all out in aiding Sri lanka eliminate LTTE beacuse of this.
