Vehicle of Prabhakaran's bodyguard found from TNA MP's official home

A van that had belonged to the personal bodyguard of Velupillai Prabhakaran has surfaced from TNA MP S. Jeyanandamurthi’s official home at parliamentarians’ residential complex in Madiwela, Kotte, ‘Divaina’ reports.

The newspaper says that intelligence officials, aided by Mirihana Special Police Division, raided the house NO: C 16 on August 19 following a tip off.

Bearing the number NPGS 3240, the Toyota Hiace had been brought to Colombo for a suicide mission, preliminary investigations have found.

It had belonged to Prabhakaran’s bodyguard Ratnam Master, who had also been a leader of the LTTE’s air wing and Radha Division.

He had reportedly led attacks on Anuradhapura Air Force base and the security forces headquarters in the Wanni.

Ratnam Master had been killed in the final battle with the security forces at Pudukudirippu.

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.
