LTTE's last underground center built with thick concrete destroyed

State media announced that the LTTE's last underground operation center located in a coconut plantation between Iranapalai and Pachchapulmoddai was destroyed by the Army 58 division yesterday. A bullet proof truck that was prepared for the Tiger leaders to flee from the underground operation center was also destroyed, said state media. The operation center was constructed with thick concrete walls.
Army says that a similar operation center with thick walls was found previously at the One Four Base in Mullaithivu jungle.

A communication antenna fixed to a tree was also recovered from the LTTE camp.

The truck that was covered with thick metal sheets could accommodate around 20 persons and Army believed that all the LTTE cadres that were to flee from this truck were killed. LTTE leader Prabakaran's son Charles Anthony was also believed injured while he was in this camp.

The photos published in state media proves that the camp and the truck were completely destroyed.

Velupillai Prabhakaran

The rest of the world might never understand the violence Velupillai Prabhakaran stood for, but its imprint on Sri Lanka is wide and deep. For 26 years, the elusive leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had waged war with the government to win an independent homeland, or eelam, for the island's Tamil minority. The struggle claimed more than 70,000 lives--including, on May 18, Prabhakaran's. The government says he was killed, along with 17 of his trusted lieutenants, while fleeing an army ambush.

Prabhakaran, 54, was born to a middle-class family on the Jaffna Peninsula. Incensed by discrimination against Tamils and radicalized by a militant grade-school teacher, Prabhakaran founded the LTTE in 1976, a year after a group he headed claimed responsibility for killing Jaffna's mayor. By 1983 the guerrilla movement--which pioneered suicide bombings and the recruitment of child soldiers--escalated the fighting into a civil war.

At the height of his power earlier this decade, Prabhakaran led a de facto government that controlled vast swaths of territory and boasted its own systems of taxes, roads and courts. As the army closed in, he allegedly used thousands of Tamil civilians as human shields. By the final days, just 250 LTTE members remained. They died too, along with the dream of eelam.
