Prabhakaran seeking treatment abroad
LTTE terrorists are trying to sneak their injured leader Velupillai
Prabhakaran out of Sri Lanka for treatment.
Earlier, defence sources confirmed that Prabhakaran, who has been
instrumental in killing over 50,000 people through his acts of terror
for nearly three decades, had suffered severe injuries in an SLAF air
raid last month.
Intelligence reports have confirmed that 116 of the 200 elite guards
protecting the LTTE terrorist leader had died in the recent attack by
the Sri Lanka Air Force, in which Prabhakaran was said to have been
injured.
A senior Defence Ministry official said that since intelligence
reports have "confirmed" that Prabhakaran, a diabetic patient, sustained
injuries on November 26, there could be an attempt by the Tiger leader
to go to India for treatment if the medical facilities in Killinochchi
or Mullaithivu were not sufficient to treat him. "But India will not
provide any facility for Prabhakaran and we will not allow him to leave
the country and will maintain strict vigilance on LTTE movements," the
official said.
The condition of Prabhakaran has worsened due to high blood sugar and
the LTTE is looking at prospects of taking him out of the country for
treatment.
Intelligence reports indicate that the top-most terrorist in Sri
Lanka has sustained injuries or fractures in his arm and a leg. Since
the Tiger leader is already suffering from diabetes, his condition has
got worsened and the LTTE is making attempts to evacuate him to a
foreign country for further treatment.
