Nov 02, Colombo: Political leader of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), S.P. Thamilchelvan was killed in an Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) aerial attack today. LTTE confirmed his death several hours after the attack. SLAF launched two aerial attacks at two LTTE camps today around 6 AM.
SLAF fighter jets simultaneously carried out two air sorties this morning targeting a gathering place of LTTE leaders at Thiruwaiaru and a Black Tiger base in Kilinochchi this morning, the Media Center for National Security said.
Pro LTTE TamilNet said the air attack has specifically targeted the residence of the members of the Political Division.
Defense sources said five other high profile LTTE leaders, identified as Anpumani (Alex), Mikuthan, Neathaji, Aadchiveal and Vaakaikkumaran were also killed in the raids.
The SLAF air sorties were carried out following real time ground information, air surveillance and reconnaissance information, military sources earlier reported.
The rebel outfit has offered Thamilchelvan who led the peace talks with Sri Lanka government in the past period the highest military rank of the rebel LTTE, Brigadier, posthumously.
