Get Pottu Amman to finish LTTE: Douglas Devananda

Sri Lankan Minister and Tamil politician Douglas Devananda, who escaped an assassination bid on him by a suicide bomber last week, has said the way to finish LTTE is to kill the rebel outfit's intelligence chief Pottu Amman.

Devananda, leader of the Eelam People's Democratic Front and Social Services and Social Welfare Minister, said Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam chief Vellupillai Prabhakaran will be weakened by the death of Pottu Amman.

"The only way to bring an end to the LTTE is to kill its head of intelligence Pottu Amman, since he is the person who guides LTTE leader V Prabhakaran and others in the organisation," Devananda, a vocal critic of the Tamil Tigers who had been the target of four assassination attempts in the past, told the Colombo Post newspaper.
