Now, they're 'worried' that Prabha--the terrorist--was totured! The following is from BBC (but the staements were made by a group in America):Sri Lanka's defence secretary has rejected claims that the army tortured Tamil Tiger leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran before killing him.Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said there was "absolutely no truth" in reports the rebel leader had been captured alive. He was responding to a recent report from a Sri Lankan human rights group which cited unnamed army sources saying Prabhakaran had been tortured. His death came at the end of a 26-year war between the army and Tamil rebels. The report, issued by the Sri Lankan human rights group, University Teachers for Human Rights, included an investigation into the likely scenarios of the Tamil Tiger leader's death. "These sources said that Prabhakaran was tortured probably at Division 53 HQ in the presence of a Tamil government politician and a general," it said. The report added that its sources were confident the information was correct "unless officers at the highest level are fibbing to one another". It also said that the military carried out a politically-ordered massacre of surrendering Tamil Tiger fighters. The report was also profoundly critical of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), accusing the rebel group of murder, torture and the conscription of children. The army maintains the rebel chief was killed during a confrontation in the Nanthi Kadal lagoon area. Sri Lanka's Island newspaper reported Defence Secretary Rajapaksa, the president's brother, as saying there was "absolutely no truth in claims of Prabhakaran or any other hard core being taken alive". According to the newspaper, a senior army officer who was present when the rebel leader's body was recovered called the claims in the report "ridiculous". These people in West just keep stirring shit up to further the conflict in Sri Lanka. What do you guys think?</blockquote>
