Sri Lanka on Wednesday said it has decided to “eliminate” LTTE supremo V Prabhakaran to bring peace to the strife-torn Island nation, while maintaining that it was still open to negotiations.
“If Prabhakaran is ready to take the white flag, we will leave some window open to consider that offer.
Otherwise we have decided to eliminate him to bring peace,” said Defence Spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella. He said LTTE political chief Nadesan’s offer to implement the ceasefire agreement after the government decided to abrogate it was “hilarious”.
