First Visuals LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran's body found by Sri Lankan Troops

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA: Sri Lankan troops recovered the body of slain rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran on Tuesday, a day after he was killed in Image taken from TV is said to show the body of Tamil Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran

Footage broadcast on the private Swarnawahini television station showed a body that appeared to be the rebel leader, still dressed in his dark green camouflage uniform, laid out on the grass as soldiers stood nearby. A blue cloth covered the top of his head, apparently to cover a bullet wound there. His open eyes stared straight up and his face appeared bloated.

The government had announced Prabhakaran's killing on Monday, but later said they had not yet found his body. A rebel official abroad denied Prabhakaran was killed and said he was in a safe place.

As speculation grew about Prabhakaran's fate, army chief Gen. Sarath Fonseka announced that his body had been recovered. ``A few hours ago, the body of terrorist leader Prabhakaran, who ruined this country, was found in the battleground,'' he told state television. ``I take esponsibility for this statement.''
