Mystery deepens on the death of Balaraj and on the selective leaks of LTTE leaders’ movements

The year 2008 so far has proved to be a bad year for the LTTE. In this year two prominent LTTE leaders and one of the most senior LTTE female leaders got killed in the battle within the LTTE control area.

The LTTE had announced that its number two or overall operations commander Balraj died of a heart attack.

However, well informed sources from Tiger territory said Balraj died in a clandestine claymore bomb attack at Pallamadu in north Mannar.

After the Sri Lanka Army advanced on three fronts from January this year to the LTTE controlled area, LTTE leader V. Prabhakaran is said to have appointed battle-hardened Balraj to supervise the three battle fronts in North Mannar, Vavuniya and Welioya.

On May 20 morning, Balraj is reported to have had a meeting with Banu in north Mannar to discuss the ongoing military advance of the SL Army and gave strategic advice to Banu on how to repulse the advance. Balraj had his breakfast and then proceeded to his next destination – the Vavuniya battle front to meet Luxman and Swarnam.
