According to DBS Jeyraj..
and before anyone accuse him of hatred and bigotry, he also said thisPrabhakaran fought to the end and then shot himself on 18th. Army recovered body hours later on 19th
His wife Mathivathany died a few days earlier in shelling with some family members of LTTE cadres in a bunker
His daughter Duwaraga also died a few days earlier in shelling while on the battlefront
His elder son Charles Anthony was in charge of the last ditch efforts to hold the Army off. He consumed cynaide at the end
His younger son Balachandran (11) was with some bodyguards near Nandhikkadal lagoon. After some bodyguards were killed the others surrendered. They were killed. The boy was taken to Prabakharan's body and asked to identify the Father. Afterwards he was killed
No one was a saint in this war. LTTE condemned a generation of Tamils to death, destruction and a lifetime of pain. They finally got their comeuppance and met their gory end at the hands of the fate. But what about those brutal SLA commanders (not all of them were like that) and soldiers who murdered women and children in cold blood? Just because they had the misfortune to be related to LTTE combatants?Lots of Tamil civilians died at the hands of the armed forces during the fighting but at the same time dont forget that the armed forces also enabled more than 300,000 people to leave LTTE controlled areas and reach safety elsewhere
While some suurrendered or captured LTTE members and family members were killed around 10,000 LTTE members including hardcore guys were given safe passage outside without being killed
Most o them are released now. Others are being released in batches. There was also a chance of a general amnesty for the hard core members but the Diaspora antics is spoiling that chance
Also dont forget that the LTTE was shooting and killing a lot of Tamils trying to escape to safety . What do you make of that?
