Lanka dismisses report of LTTE chief’s torture,surrender

The report,quoting a “senior Defence Ministry source in Colombo”,claimed that the “credible” evidence obtained from the source “reveal that the Tiger chief was barbarically slaughtered by a senior Sri Lankan army officer”.

The Lankan military described the report as “concocted stories,replete with hypotheses and utterly false fabricated stories.”

“The latest were a series of purposely planted such stories and e-mails being published in a website called “Sri Lanka Guardian” in which a new version to the consequences that led to Prabhakaran’s death has been concocted.

“Defence authorities flatly reject contents of these fabricated stories and are planning prosecution against those publishers in accordance with legal provisions that have already been published,” the Media Centre for National Security said in a statement.
