(May 14, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Velupillai Prabhakaran (born November 26, 1954), is the founder and leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a Terrorist organization that seeks to create an independent Tamil state in the north and east of Sri Lanka.
He is currently wanted by Interpol for terrorism, murder, organized crime and terrorism conspiracy.
Although during an interview he stated that the LTTE are not yet ready to give up the demand for an independent state, he has suggested that this may be a possibility once the "Tamil homeland, Tamil nationality and Tamil right to self-determination" are politically recognized and accepted.
Here is pictorial essay a part of himself,
