SRI LANKA LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM LEADER PRABHAKARAN

Alleged body of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Velupillai Prabhakaran lying on a mat at Karayamullivaikkal in Mullaitivu

epa01735525 A Sri Lankan Army handout image made available on 19 May 2009, shows what the Sri Lankan Army described as being the body of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, lying on a mat at Karayamullivaikkal in Mullaitivu, some 412 Km north-east of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa on 19 May officially announced the end of the more than 25-year civil war against Tamil rebels as the army's commander said the body of guerilla leader Velupillai Prabhakaran had been positively identified. General Sarath Fonseka's official announcement came hours after the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) claimed its rebel leader was still alive. Television footage showed what was said to be the body of Prabhakaran, which appeared to be intact and his face identifiable.
