COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - At the height of his power, the Tamil commander ran a shadow state. His guerrilla force, backed by artillery, a navy and a tiny air force.Now he is dead.
With his rebel separatist group is now defeated at the hands of the Sri Lankan military, Velupillai Prabhakaran’s life was a mystery. But then, he has lived most of his life in the shadows.
What happens to Prabhakaran could be crucial to the future of the ethnic Tamil rebel group he founded. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is so centralized that without a leader it would almost certainly spin into disarray and the war would come to a swift close.

One Western diplomat said that if Prabhakaran were to flee, it would be viewed as cowardice by his followers, ending Tamil militancy for a generation. But the diplomat, who declined to be named because he is not authorized by his government to speak on record, said the rebel leader’s death in battle or by suicide would make him a martyr to inspire future generations.

Over the past three decades, Prabhakaran has turned a small band of barely armed separatists from the Tamil minority into one of the world’s most feared guerrilla groups.
The United States and India have branded the chubby 54-year-old guerrilla leader running a death cult. The Tamil Tigers have been blamed in scores of suicide bombings and the assassinations of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe Premadasa.
Prabhakaran once commanded a de facto state across much of northern Sri Lanka and parts of the east, complete with its own tax system, police force and courts. His guerrilla force reportedly earned up to $300 million a year from expatriates.

Listen all you people, the war in Sri Lanka was never a fight of one race against another. It was a war against brutal terrorism that destroyed all communites including Tamils. And all those who believe that LTTE fought for the Tamils, they are sadly mistaken. The last days of war proved this well and clear. We are one nation now; tamils, sinhalese, hundus, muslims… all of us.
One more thing to all those Tamils living abroad, if you want to fight for the rights in your country, GO THERE AND FIGHT, not on some stragers’ land. Now that the LTTE has been eradicated, you people are more than safe in Sri Lanka.
