No special treatment was given,” the source said. “He (Prabhakaran) was captured alive after the Tigers ran out of ammo and then shot just like everybody else.
The exchange of fire in the Vellamullivaikkal and Puthukudirippu areas did not last very long as the last of the LTTE fighters – estimated to be around 300 – ran out of ammunition.Īccording to the sources, when Prabhakaran’s bodyguards, numbering around 30, exhausted their ammunition, the LTTE chief was captured by the Sri Lankan special forces, and the organisation’s political head Balasingham Nadesan and the chief of the Tigers’ peace secretariat Seevaratnam Pulidevan surrendered. Sources close to the Sri Lankan army’s military intelligence disclosed to Deccan Herald that in the last gunfight between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan special forces, Prabhakaran’s bodyguards and a core of the Tigers’ fighting force exchanged heavy gunfire after they were surrounded.
