Prabakaran no more in Vanni
Colombo, (Asiantribune.com): Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabakaran has fled the country. He is now remote controlling the war from outside Sri Lanka. As LTTE leader has deserted his cadres and ran away for his and his family’s safety, at present the moral of the Tiger cadres are very low. Sri Lankan Army source told Asian Tribune that Tigers will be routed completely within March 2009.
When Asian Tribune contacted Army source in the ground in Vanni, he told that when inquired the civilians coming to army sides for safety, almost all of them say that Prabakaran is not in Vanni. They say that he has vanished log stock and barrel, with his wife and two sons, after the Mahaveer’s day.
They speculated that he might be either in some coastal area in between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, or else in Penang, Malaysia. When asked why Malaysia, Army source said civilians are of the view that in Malaysia there are scores of hardcore LTTE supporters and many of them in the Penang state. In that state, there are good number of hardcore LTTErs in the state government and it would be easy for them to keep him in safe houses in Penang.
However, Sri Lankan Army sources told Asian Tribune that this report has to be confirmed.
When Asian Tribune asked if Prabhakaran is out of the country, then who is running the war?
The Army source told that there is no need for Prabakaran to be present in the war front. He has never been present in the war front in his life time, he said.
The source who wished to remain anonymous said, "He must be running the show from outside, as he has done in the early part of 80s, when he was in Chennai. People who are running the show are those who know that they can’t flee from the country, so they have to go for the do or die attempt."
