Prabhakaran's body found - Army Chief

 
Commander of Sri Lanka Army General Sarath Fonseka confirmed earlier today, May 19, that the body of V. Prabhakaran, psychopathic leader of world's most ruthless terrorist outfit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has been found.

According to the defence sources, the LTTE leader who has ordered thousands of Tamil youth to give up their lives for him has tried to save his life until the last moment. The terror chief's body was found by the 53 Division troops led by Major General Kamal Goonarathne, the sources further said.

Television stations showed photographs of the body, ending international media speculation raising doubts about yesterday’s reports of his being killed.
