...he was right
about one thing...
The broadcast quoted military officials as saying Prabhakaran had been killed along with his intelligence chief Pottu Amman and Soosai, the head of the rebels' naval wing.
They were shot dead in an ambush in the Mullivaikal district while trying to escape the war zone in an ambulance, the general added.
Earlier, at least three senior rebel leaders were killed, including Prabhakaran's eldest son, Charles Anthony.
Ironically... the news appears to have sparked
mass demonstrations...
The announcement sparked mass celebrations around the country, and people poured into the streets of Colombo dancing and singing.
