The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Velupillai Prabhakaran has asked India to lift the ban on his outfit in order to “fulfil the aspirations of Tamil people”, reports Reddiff.com. “We expect that it (India) would lift the ban on our organisation and support us to fulfil the long awaited aspirations of the Tamil people,” he said in an e-mail interview to Chennai-based Tamil magazine Nakkeeran. Conceding that the Sri Lanka security forces have closed in on the LTTE strongholds and have even entered key areas, Velupillai Prabhakaran, however, said capturing the outfit’s administrative capital Kilinochchi was still a distant dream for them. “The Sri Lankan forces have entered parts of our homeland and are stationed in close proximity to Kilinochchi town. But, capturing Kilinochchi is just a day dream of (Sri Lankan President Mahinda) Rajapakse,” he said. While accusing Sri Lankan Army of “carrying out genocidal attacks on Tamils”, Prabhakaran also claimed that the military was facing “severe losses” due to the attacks launched in Northern Sri Lanka.

The troops completely captured Nachchakuda, the last stronghold of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on the Western coast before Pooneryn by October 30-evening. “With the capture of Nachchakuda the LTTE is left with only Pooneryn on the Western coast as the rest of the area between Nachchakuda and Pooneryn is covered with jungle patches,” commander of the Task Force I or the 58th Division, Brigadier Shavendra Silva told Daily News. The LTTE faced two consecutive blows within 24-hours on the western edge of the Kilinochchi district as they lost two strategically important villages Jayapuram and Nachchakuda, he said.
