LTTE terrorists abandon their chief's son; body found
Sri Lanka Army special forces soldiers have found a body suspected to be
of Charles Anthony, the elder son of LTTE chief V. Prabhakaran in the
Karayamullavaikkal area this morning (May 18).
According to the defence sources in the battlefront, the body was found
after an unsuccessful and half-hearted attempt by the LTTE cadres to
evacuate their leader's son early this morning.
Charles Anthony was known to be the head of Information and Technology
department of the LTTE. It is said that the LTTE leader was compelled to
recruit his son to the outfit to avoid criticism over his hypocrisy. The
LTTE leader was often criticised for sending thousands of child soldiers
to war while giving a luxurious life and best of education to his own
children. Charles Anthony was given a very senior position in the outfit
after establishing a special non-fighting unit for him.
According to latest battlefield reports received, Army elites are now
continuing the final mop-up operations at the last 100m x100m LTTE
foothold, North of Vellamullivaikkal. |
