Whether Prabakaran..?

I've been hearing so many rumors and speculation on the fate of LTTE Chief V.Prabakaran for the last couple of weeks now.. many include Prabakaran escaping via speed boat under cover of a massive Sea Tiger assault on the Navy petrol units (which happened last week..), and to be met by a LTTE charted/owned Freighter off the coast of Eastern Sri Lanka .... to claims such as Prabakaran escaped using a submarine..(which i think its too far fetched ,since we saw the embryonic state of LTTE R&D on building a Sub..when Forces captured some of such crafts under construction last month/Jan 09) .

And yesterday and today, there were speculations and rumors of Prabakaran's body found among group of LTTE dead, and is now in a Military base outside Colombo awaiting forensics (may be DNA testing..?). then according to a claim by surrendered (again cannot confirm) 'Senior Memeber' (as he is called!) and one time leader of EROS, T.Balakumar states that LTTE Chief V.Prabakaran was killed by LTTE when his attempt to escape failed or he got caught in a failed attempt to escape! [that's according to #LTTE on Twitter..]

However, i have no 'confidencial/highly placed sources' within the Military establishment nor Political leadership to verify or claim on the fate of Prabakaran but my simple question is, Is Prabakran any more relevant after the crushing defeat of the LTTEs Terrorist structure?

I think the more important strategic issue is to redirect focus on strengthening Unity of this country and may be establishing rule of law with the defeat of LTTE and its reign of Terror!

In the case of Prabakarans demise,the remnants of the LTTE both here and overseas (including ,now head less chicken like TNA,NGO mafia,Jehan Perera etc and of course not to forget those 'genocide' chanting hordes carrying LTTE terror flags in Western capitals ), i think this claim of "Silencing Guns" is a hint that under the helm of K.P or Kumaran Padmanadan or Selvarasa Pathmanathan ,the LTTE will go global with its war of Terror against Sri Lanka and best indications of such 'second genaration' terrorist campaign for a Eelam is the continued fire bombings and attacks on Sri Lankan missions abroad and other places of significance such as Buddhist temples etc.

Most LTTE sympathisers will continue to believe in a stay behind LTTE and a Continuation LTTE but the Government here will start the hearts and minds campaign to win Unity and Equality among the communities and the people living (and continue to call this home) in Sri Lanka.

Time has come for that and the people too are ready to embrace such change. i saw that walking on the streets of Anuradhapura today and I'm hopeful!

well, development and education, equal rights and democracy... I really do hope that we have seen the end of racially motivated hatred in this country, for the sake of our children! :)
