Sri Lanka vows to eliminate Tiger supremo |
2007-11-12 |
![]() Air Force chief Roshan Goonatilleke said he was confident of finding the elusive leader who is believed to be holed up in the island’s north where he runs a mini-state. The comments, in the Sunday Observer newspaper, come less than two weeks after a key rebel aide was killed in a government air strike. “I do not think it is that difficult for us to get at him now,” Goonatilleke told the newspaper under the headline: “Sri Lanka air force goes all out for Prabhakaran - Commander.” “We will find him somehow soon. We need a great deal of patience.” Sri Lankan war planes bombed a Tamil Tiger location and killed political wing leader SP Thamilselvan and six others on November 2 as part of a campaign to re-capture territory from the rebels. Thamilselvan was regarded as the public face of the separatist group and the point-man for Norwegian peace brokers and and other international diplomats involved in the island’s faltering peace efforts. |
