Colombo, April 05: Sri Lankan troops have recovered the
birth certificate, horoscope and albums of LTTE supremo
Velupillai Prabhakaran in the last rebel bastion of
Pudukudiyirippu, which has been captured by the military.
"The troops of the 53 division unearthed the vital
documents including the birth certificate, horoscopes and
albums of the LTTE leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran and his
family yesterday," the state-run Sunday Observer reported
today quoting sources.
"Prabhakaran had buried the lot before he fled from his
residence in Pudukudiyiruppu east and the troops of 53 and 58
divisions encircled the rebels in a one square kilometre"
area, the reoprt said. Subsequently, the one sq km area was
captured by the troops.
According to sources, Prabhakaran and LTTE second-in-
command Pottu Amman were inside the area but had fled before
the troops entered the territory.
Security forces had earlier this week recovered a damaged
bullet-proof limousine belonging to Prabhakaran near a luxury
air-conditioned bungalow in Puthukudiyiruppu.
