International community 'contributed' to Thamilselvan's killing: LTTE
Colombo (PTI): Describing the slain head of LTTE political wing S P Thamilselvan as "an extra-ordinary son of our nation," Tamil Tigers' supremo V Prabhakaran on Tuesday charged that the international community contributed to his killing by only paying "lip service to peace."
"Had the international community firmly and unambiguously condemned the anti-peace activities and the war mongering of the Sinhala regime, Thamilselvan would have been alive today," Prabhakaran said in his annual 'Heroes Day' speech on his 53rd birthday.
Thamilselvan had died in a raid by the Sri Lankan Air Force on a high-profile gathering of the LTTE leaders in the rebel-dominated Kilinocchi in northern Sri Lanka earlier this month.
"By only paying lip service to peace, the international community has contributed to the killing of an extra-ordinary son of our nation, Thamilselvan," Prabhakaran said.
