So now what does the Sri Lankans Tamil have to say on this. For many of the belivers who pursue their ideologies of having their own home land, somewhere, its just a matter of time. Realistically, for one leader gone, there are ten replacement in the waiting...and lets hope not.

Srilankan government has a new warS coming ahead:

1. Restructure of destroyed property

2. Food & clothing arrangements of displaced people

3. Mental & physical suffering of that affected area

4. Medical assistance to those people

5. Due to huge loss of human beings in that war, more persons will become TERRORISTS / REVENGERS to fight against the govt who torn their life & family members with immense bombings

The leader of the LTTE, Velupillai Prabhakaran, was shot dead while trying to flee government troops, a senior defence official told AFP.

Prabhakaran tried to flee the area in an ambulance along with two close aides, but was ambushed and killed, the senior defence ministry official said on condition he not be named.

“He was killed with two others inside the vehicle. There will be a formal announcement later,” the official said.

There's not really any propaganda value in saying it is over if it isn't. It's clearly been coming to an end in recent days, I think we can assume the announcement is correct.
