The Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka have admitted that their leader is dead. The group now claims it will use non-violent methods to fight for Tamils' rights. Sri Lankan troops cornered the rebels in a coastal strip, bringing this 26 year fight to an end. The groups declared a week of mourning for their dead leader, starting on 25 May.
There have been conflicting reports of the death of the Tiger's leader. "They initially said he had been killed in an ambush by commandos as he tried to break through government lines in an ambulance. But the army later said his body was found on the banks of the Nanthikadal lagoon and he had been shot in scrubland - probably during fierce fighting." Before these causes had been released the group was denying the death all together.
I really hope these 'nonviolent methods' the tigers claim they will use, will be used.
