Sri Lanka Says Wins Civil War, Kills Rebel Leader

Sri Lankan troops say they have won the final battle in a separatist
conflict against Tamil Tiger rebels. The announcement comes with news that the military have killed the leader of the rebel group.
The Sri Lankan military has said that it has won one of the world's most intractable wars and put the island nation under government control for the first time since 1983.

IState media reported that special forces troops killed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran as he tried to flee the war zone in an ambulance early on Monday May 18 .

LTTE intelligence chief Pottu Amman and Soosai, head of the "Sea Tiger" naval wing, were also believed to have been killed.

Prabhakaran had sworn he would never be taken alive.

Also killed was the rebel leader's son and apparent heir, Charles Anthony, and other top LTTE fighters and political cadres.

[Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka, Army Commander]:
"We have liberated the entire country by completely liberating the north from the terrorists. We have gained full control of LTTE-held areas."

The final fight played out on a sandy patch of just 300 sq metres near the Indian Ocean island's northeastern coast, where the military said the last Tiger fighters had holed up in bunkers and surrounded themselves with land mines and booby traps.

The LTTE has conceded defeat on Sunday, May 17.

The Singhalese have ruined our country. How can immature, killing monsters run our country? Sri Lanka was wonderful before all of you moved here and brought injustice with you. ``GOVERNMENT`` forces are never supposed to kill anyone. SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT FORCES ARE FULL OF BASTARDS. God will punish all of those who made innocent Tamils suffer.

Sri Lanka's Killing Fields clearly shows who the Sri Lankan troops actually targeted and killed. Unless Extreme Sinhalese share the power with minorities, there won't be any peace in Sri Lanka.
