Srilankan war almost over

Sri Lankan government on Thursday claimed to have trapped LTTE chief Prabhakaran in a small area near to Mullaittivu. LTTE chief is said to be holding some hostages so as to bargain his freedom in exchange of their lives. The reports coming from the area also suggested that nearly 10,000 villagers are still trapped in the war zone are being held at gun point by the rebels.
But the Tamil Tigers are still putting up stiff resistance despite calls for their surrender. The Army said the guerrillas controlled a mere 10-12 square kilometres of territory on the northeast coast, where thousands of civilians are still trapped by the fighting. Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, the island's military spokesman, said the Tigers were using artillery and tanks. So it is expected that LTTE- Lankan govt. war will be finished in short time and Prabhakaran will be captured or killed by Lankan army if he is in Lanka.
