Prabhakaran loses command - Asian Tribune
Reports reaching Colombo reveal that Velupillai Prabhakaran, leader
of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam has lost his commanding position
in the separatist outfit. It is reliably learnt that the LTTE leader is
suffering very badly from his fluctuating chronic diabetes.
According to Dr. Rambukwella, Prabhakaran is seriously ill and has
been affected by his fluctuating diabetic conditions.
According to Minister Dr. Keheliya Rambukwella, Government
spokesperson for Defence and National Security, Sri Lankan intelligence
personnel monitoring LTTE's daily activities have not heard the voice of
LTTE leader since the middle of November 2007.
Dr. Rambukwella said that according to reports reaching Colombo
Velupillai Prabhakaran, leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
has lost his commanding position in the separatist outfit.
According to Dr. Rambukwella, Prabhakaran is seriously ill and has
been affected by his fluctuating diabetic conditions.
It is reliably learnt that LTTE leader is suffering very badly from
his fluctuating chronic diabetes. It is further revealed that at present
the outfit's activities are in shambles and two senior rival leaders
have taken over the day to day activities.
Sri Lanka Government's intelligence agency which is monitoring LTTE
activities in the Wanni says that the two rival leaders - Intelligence
Chief Shanmuganthan Sivasankaran alias Pottu Amman and Thamotherampillai
Sivanesan alias Soosai are controlling and running the day to day
affaires of the outfit.
When the Asian Tribune asked whether anyone approached the Government
for allowing Prabhakaran to be hospitalised in some hospitals in Colombo
or about facilitating him to leave the country for hospitalisation in
another country, he said that so far they have not received such a
request on behalf of Prabhakaran from anyone.
He also said that the Government intelligence is well aware that a
medical team from India including Tamil doctors from London managed to
enter the Wanni through boats from India to examine the condition of
Prabhakaran and provide medication.
When the Asian Tribune asked why those doctors illegally entering the
Wanni were not confronted and arrested, Dr. Rambukwella said that sea is
a vast area and they managed to slip into the Wanni.
Dr. Rambukwella told the Asian Tribune that according to their
intelligence report the two rival leaders are heard putting out
conflicting commands to their cadres.
