LTTE split imminent
Kumar Pathmanathan (KP) and V. Mannivannan (Castro) row intensifies
The fact that KP (alias Selvarajah Pathmanathan) and Castro (Veerakulasingham Manivannan) dislike each other is an open secret. The row started when KP was appointed “Head of International Relations” an empowered role and Castro was appointed “Head of International Secretariat” a largely ceremonial role. KP was charged with weapons procurement and had access to millions if not billions of dollars worth of funds, Castro on the other hand was left to coordinate diaspora affairs. However, the wheel chair bound Castro (injured following a mortar attack) is the darling of the diaspora whereas KP has little or nothing to do with the diaspora. There is no love lost between KP and Castro, it is said that both Vellupillai Prabhakaran and Pottu Amman favoured KP over Castro. Castro is known for his hard line stance and for his ruthlessness, Pottu sensing rivalry, clipped Castro’s wings about two years ago.
In the current scenario, Castro’s activism may have triggered a schism in the LTTE diaspora. Following the Pottu affair, Castro regained his position in the LTTE. Castro has galvanized diaspora support around him and is trying to push KP out of the scene, LTTE media’s latest position is clear evidence of this, it is a well known fact that LTTE media is run and funded by the diaspora, they did not publish KP’s latest statement confirming the death of VP. Intel does not think KP will fight for the LTTE cause as he's a businessman and is not under pressure from the diaspora. Castro on the other hand must give the illusion that he is committed to the LTTE cause, how he achieves this without KP’s contacts, business acumen and more importantly the vast sums of money remains to be seen. As last note, we must mention that VP always had faith in KP.

Breaking News - LTTE finally admits that their "Supreme Leader" is dead
LTTE, you have been had!
A short while ago, Selvarajah Pathmanathan, alias KP - chief weapons smuggler and Interpol wanted terrorist issued a statement to the BBC that their leader, Vellupillai Prabhakaran was killed in "fighting" on May the 17th. LTTE have declared a national week of mourning and promised to fight for Tamil rights using non violent means, a most startling change in position.
Here is the original BBC news article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8066129.stm
General Sarath Fonseka is live on National TV - ITN now (5:00pm BST - 24th of May).
This is it, its over, the final nail in the coffin, LTTE has been confined to the history books.
We ask our readers to ponder on the following
1 - What is going to happen to the remaining LTTE funds, conservative estimates say the booty is close to $1 billion, you may remember that it was EFT who first revealed that the diaspora were fighting over the funds when the first sign of LTTE's military prowess was under question.
2 - Think about why KP has suddenly come to the fore, who is he (apart from a gun runner), why did he first say that VP was not dead?

We are truly ONE NATION under ONE FLAG

This is by far the most humbling post EFT have thus far had the privilege to publish.
Though we had the information confirmed to us several hours ago, we only indicated this to our readers with an informal update to our main post. This is because we considered it our national leader’s honourable duty to officially announce to the world that the war against LTTE terror is over with the conclusion of the humanitarian operations conducted by the Sri Lanka Defence Forces, the Police Service and a host of other agencies working together with the people of Sri Lanka.
We are extremely humbled by the commitment and sacrifices of all who gave their limb & life for us to see this day. There are many who worked hard to make this day happen. We do not need to tell our intelligent readers who, what, when, where and how this amazing task was achieved.
It may be an opportune moment to acknowledge our “ladies” who have been an inspiring readership, spurring us on in what we did. We were going to fold our blog with the announcement of Ellalanforce poll results. However you requested us to carry on and here we are at the most exciting time of our nation since independence. For us this day is several times more significant than independence from Britain.
With our hand on our heart we can say that from the very beginning EFT has been utterly committed to ridding our motherland of filthy LTTE terrorists. Our original intention was to take the terror-supporting bloggers for a joy ride. We achieved that with some remarkable success. By then we realised that we can go a step further and offer a forum to our readers to discuss defence matters in a serious yet fun environment. Only you can be the judge of how we went about achieving that.
While we celebrate the occasion let us spare a thought for the thousands of our war heroes who gave their lives for a most noble cause; let us dig deep to do whatever we can do to secure a better future for our motherland and all its peoples.

Government commits PR disaster
The LTTE international ring has started counter attacking the Government's claim of victory by exploiting the gaping PR left open when the President decided to delay the victory announcement.
Mouth piece of the LTTE - TamilNet has released a pre-recorded messags claiming to be from "Colonel" Soosai claiming that the GoSL is refusing to negotiate LTTE's terms of surrender and that "25,000" civilians are at risk of death. Pro LTTE media sources like the BBC have quickly picked up on this message and is broadcasting this as headline news. GoSL is at risk of jeopardising its reputation by sheer ignorance, laziness and incompetence, delaying the message puts us at risk of international sanctions and delay or cancellation of the IMF loan. When the country needs the the President the most, he is resting after his short flight from Jordan, the excuse given for the delay is that the Government instituitions are closed and the President is unable to get accurate statistics, facts, etc. to include in his message. How about identifying the Government servants they need to get the facts from, charter a bus, go their houses, knock on their doors and take them to their offices and get them to give the information they need. For our part we can confirm that the message from Soosai was NOT released this afternoon and not a single civilian is at risk of ANYTHING, they have ALL been RESCUED.
We urge our readers to lobby their Government, Ministerial and SLDF contacts to get the President to deliver his message without further adieu.

President's address to the nation being prepared
The President will address the nation on tuesday at 9.30 am SL time - Updated @ 10:40 BST
We have been reliably informed that the President, his closest advisors, PR gurus and Sarath Fonseka (recently arrived from China) are discussing the message that is to be delivered to the nation and international media. With such an important message such as this, there are several factors (mood of the nation, mood of the international community etc.) to be considered in drafting the contents of this speech. Therefore, the preparations are taking longer than expected and we hope that it will be delivered later this afternoon or evening. As soon as we get the time of delivery, we will let you know. EFT requests its readers to be patient, it is the message we have all been waiting for.

Silvas Liberate the Lankan Coast
Updated @ 17:57 BST
Cabinet Ministers have been briefed on the final result, it is a positive development and what you were hoping for. A media conference will be held tomorrow to highlight the reconstruction and development plan for the Vanni. The President will address the nation soon after his return. Government will declare next week as liberation week.
Apologies for not disclosing the specifics, but we have to respect the wishes of our sources.
Updated @ 16:16 BST

Pictured above are the creme-de-la-creme of the of the LTTE, but they had too much cream, ice cream, cream crackers, cream pudding etc. It was their stomachs that betrayed them, they got fat, due to the cream. All of the above are either dead, captured, or surrendered.
MR has said that he will return to a country which has vanquished terrorism!!! The announcement was made at the G11 summit in Jordan. - Updated @ 12:25 BST
High Profile Message Delivered to President - Updated @ 09:09 BST
Just received confirmation that a very important message has been delivered from the MOD to the President who is currently in a state visit to Jordan.
VP sorrounded - Updated @ 06:30 BST
EFT has been informed that the LTTE leader VP and others have been crippled and surrounded by the SLA. The ground commanders are awaiting final orders from the Military top brass (led by Commander in Chief Maithripala Sirisena) in Colombo to handle the situation as numerous appeals have been made to the international diplomats by the LTTE asking amnesty for its leader. A surrender to the SLA with the knowledge of the IC is on the cards as this will guarantee a safe arrest to the LTTE leader. Explosions continue to occur in the nearby areas.
Silvas Liberate the Lankan Coast
At around 0530 hrs troops of the 58th and 59th Divisions met in a historical occasion. After the liberation about 35 minutes ago the 2 Silva Brigadiers shook hands in the coastal stretch marking an informal, yet a historic occasion.
The divisions had to face a barrage of suicide boat attacks as especially the 58th Division made some rapid movements foxing the LTTE think tank completely. Prior to that a hive of naval activity was monitored as suicide boats of the Sea Tigers tried to engage the SLN cordon as well as the troops patrolling the coastal stretch. Ground commanders believe that this was an unsuccessful attempt to breach the naval cordon to get the LTTE leaders out of the battle zone. It was revealed that the naval assets of the Tigers were unable to be mobilized due to the unexpected manouvers exhibited by the 2 Divisions. It is reported that a large quantity of fresh water was used by the ground troops to negate the unorthodoxed defensive methods used by the tigers.
The LTTE leader VP along with Soosai is currently hiding amongst the fleeing civilians and over a 100 Black Tigers. The hostage rescue operation is at full swing and close to 3000 people are lined up to be rescued by the advancing 53rd Div troops and TF8 troops located in the opposite side of the Nanthikadal Lagoon. The LTTE leaders have dispatched all their relatives to the Army held area with forged identities and the MI sleuths of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) are in a tedious process of identifying them.
The military are instructed by Sri Lanka's Commander in Chief of the Armed forces Hon. Minister of Agrarain Services Maithripala Sirisena to take time to minimise the number of civilian casualties as an operation of haste to get to the Tiger supremo will result in massive civilian deaths. It is reported that VP has a large volume of explosives stacked at his location to detonate and create a blood bath.
So the remaining work for the 53rd Div will require a lot of finesse where its commander is not known for.
