The LTTE on Saturday stoutly denied that its leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran was injured in a Sri Lankan Air Force attack late last month in Killinocchi. “Our leader (Prabhakaran) is like a sun. Can anybody even think of extinguishing him? Do you think we will ever keep our leader in such a place where he is vulnerable to attacks. He is leading us from the front. He is not injured,” an LTTE spokesman said following a rush of reports quoting government claims that the elusive leader was wounded in raids by the country’s air force. When asked about the state of health of Prabhakaran, the spokesman merely said, “He is eating well. I met brother (Prabhakaran) three days ago.”
