S.P. Thamil Selvam killed in airstrike

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam suffered a major setback when their political wing leader S.P. Thamil Selvam was killed in an airstrike today. His death occurred when SLAF 10th fighter squadron and 5th jet squadron's ground attack aircraft bombed a suspected rebel base in Kilinochci at around 6 AM today. 4 other senior LTTE cadres who were at the  base too are reported to be killed.

Although Thamil Selvam was the leader of LTTE's political wing, he was recently assigned to the defense of the Pooneryn sector from a possible army invasion. At the time of his death, he was commanding a considerable number of LTTE fighters in the Pooneryn sector.

    Don't be a fool. Rushing into Wanni ASAP is a stupid move at this stage of the game.

  5. I wonder if VP had anything to do with Tamilchelva's death. There were rumors flying around that VP and Chelva didn't see eye to eye on a few issues.

  6. this is one of the best news itmes i heard about sri lanka in a long time. The most important thing now is to take advantage of this and flush out the terrorists from our motherland.
    The morale of the LTTE will fall to an all-time low to learn the fact that an "invincible" leader is not immune from the SLAF bombardment. It is just a matter of correct intelligence flowing in and the most secure LTTE positions can be targetted.

  11. however, it will be very stupid to over-react and go all out into wanni. It has to be a meticulously planned, special force headed offensive.

  12. thats true thamilchelvam was kind of moderate.......killing him is GOOD but it doesn't make LTTE less stronger....he'll be forgotten in one month and some one will take up his place.....Air force has done a good work under pressure (When u consider huge failure in Anuradhapura)....this could be a good incident to increase the lost moral of SLAF...hope they could keep it that way

  13. 1) He could be really dead an announced
    2)He could be alive and disapper like KP but all arragements done for his burnt out? body which nobody can identify as its wrapped.

    IF 1) is likely, a) was he assinated and then "killed" in a air force attack or b) was he killed by Prabha.

    If you ask me it could be a boon to Prabha for Chelva to be dead. 1)Sri Lanka has targetted the LTTE political head, so no negotiations can be made 2) The dispora get worked up conviniently before Maveera day and throw their support behind LTTE and also funds flow in. 3)LTTE says that Sri Lanka is clearly intrested in war and LTTE is now compelled to go for an armed struggle.

    Lets see how the drama unfold in the comming days.

  17. Navindran...About TC i am inclined to agree with you.I think he was killed by VP and his body placed in the bombed out remains.I hope the Tamil diasphora...help VP buy weapons which are located and captured by the army.Will help defense budget.We must instruct them to buy modern weaponary.If this happens what a turn of events.Remember the time when the joke among the LTTE was-if we need modren weapons we get it from the army?

  25. Thanks mew_lobo &shay.Are you sure the others are not cadres who died recently due confrontations with the army.The only way to know for sure is to conduct post mortems to establish time of death which we cant.Now can these guys from norway help us there?.

  28. goldeneagle, lankapura, srilankan and others who raised the question,

    We do not think that this is fabrication.

    There are many reasons as we are running out of time we'll cite the main reason:

    Black tigers almost raised the Eelam flag in AAB and put the morale of SLAF to an all time low. It is unlikely that the LTTE will help SLAF regain lost pride with a story like this.

  29. 1 is finished, let’s go for others...
    Make them feel insecure,

    Make them desperate...
    Make them frightened, that they can’t even go to the toilet or plan anything
    Now it’s time to hire someone to finish, KP and all foreign bustards
    (by the way there’s another Patriot here… can u please change that name or shall I)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Also, in pro LTTE media articles related to this story, notice the word "political leader Thamil Selvam".

    Any outside reader would be fooled into thinking that SLAF just killed someone not involved in military operations (in other words a 'good guy')

  33. well well... what have we got hear... lot of conspiracy theories coming out already, as to what really happened to the "Barber"?

    Have U guys ever noticed, every time a prominent LTTE leader gets killed or targeted by the SL forces, for some weird reason, the deceased/wounded seems to have had "issues" with VP...?

    I think this is how the LTTE down-plays their losses!

    Whatever it is, I'm just happy to see the end of that smiling monkey!

    Yeah! agree with U guys... this is revenge for killing our beloved FM, late Hon. Laxman Kadirgarma...

    Of course we will have to kill about 100,000 TamilChelvans to get true revenge on the loss of Laxman K, but I will settle for this now!

  45. I have mixed feelings. I guess it's good to destroy as many of them as possible.

    But, a political office was targetted (top political leaders dead). I know there are issues with calling them "political" members, but let's not dwell on that.

    This is going to give LTTE ammo to do more crazy attacks that they have been trying to avoid lately. Like not worrying about civilians and use of dirty weapons. It will also allow LTTE to say that SLGovt wants war. Tamil diaspora will also step up funding as a lot of them respected the smiling tiger.

    ReplyDelete
  46. "I also never knew the chelva was ever referred to as COL before. How come he dies as a BRG."

    Very few high-ranking Tigers use their ranks the media, and especially not TC, since he was styled as a political leader. I guess they posthumously promoted him.

    I too am a bit surprised at the immediate announcement by the LTTE of such a shocking blow, and it's a bit tempting to assume VP killed him. But I doubt that. He was too valuable a figure. IF VP or someone else killed him, I doubt it would be announced that he was killed in an airstrike as its handing the GoSL a morale-booster straight after the A'pura disaster. It would be easier to say he was killed in a car crash or accidental explosion. So I'd say it's genuine.

    The only possiblity that can't yet be excluded is that TC was killed by a rival within the LTTE, and in a way that will be difficult to hide. So it was decided to announce he was killed in the airstrike.

    But that's just conjecture.

    I can't think that this'll bring funds in from the diaspora, as it will hit their morale. TC was a very charismatic figure and in many ways seen as the next generation of the LTTE leadership. More likely this'll make the diaspora wonder if the war can be won.

    To say that TC can be forgotten and replaced in a month is also quite silly. He was both an experienced and successful military commander as well as popular figure among younger Tamils, because unlike VP he was a very visible individual.

  48. Although one may automatically have the desire to celebrate upon hearing of TS's death, we must understand that this is merely a battle won and the war is still far from over. The government should control the sentiments of the masses and not allow too much celebration to take place over this, as it is a sensitive news item which may result in mayhem. Having said that, I must confess that there is a triumphant feeling that wells up in one's heart upon hearing this news, as TS was a devious and significant stumbling block in the peace talks.

  49. perein,

    Reality doesn't worry. Perceived reality is what worries me. LTTE can use this to run propaganda about SLGovt attacking political cadres.

  53. MOD, the armed forces of Sri Lanka,

    This is good news. We have to take many great steps like this to finish LTTE. However good this news is, don't loose the sight of the original plan. Yet, capitalizes any gains we made from this attack (psy ops). Stay on the course. Execute the plan methodically. Don't rush. Never let our guard down. We have lots of big fish to fry.

  54. kbs-
    Whole world know him as a terror leader / self appointed socalled political factor.
    If in to democracy surely most of the world has thought about LTTE better than now.
    Only reason rest of the world does not want to support SL Gov. fully is too many Tamils live in most of the other countries and last thing they want is to control those lot while Muslim terror is an issue.
    However those Tamils living away from SL also in 2nd or 3rd generation with less dependants in SL. Therefore they do not bother about LTTE and not worried to stop funding.
    Also SL Gov. (I hate politics) has done a good job to date by publishing and discussing the relevent issues with top of the ladder in most countries too.

  58. It wont be easy 2 replace selvam. He was one of the senior ltte cadres (he joined ltte in 1983) and this may be ltte's biggest loss after shankar.

    ReplyDelete
  59. david, I seen to disagree on the value of tamil chelvam. Looking at the Pro LTTERs on the LN, you dont see obiviously they try to play down the issue.

    However at the same time balasingam was not targeted by previous governments. I would be suprised why MR would want to take out TC. He does not seem to have the strong dispora and the time frame as negotiator was short.

    If he is really dead, LTTE will play the sympathy card with the dispora especially in the heroes day speeach. Prabha will say that the Sri Lankan goverment does not want to negotiate and that the LTTE is forced to take the struggle to a higher level.

    I doubt prabha is going to mention independence but he would hint strongly this time.

    As mentioned TC was most visible and most easiest to take out. However taking him out at this juncture could be MRs way to reverse the LTTE recent sucess which even Anti LTTE websites were seen to silently praise.

  60. Now.. let's keep eye on who would attend the funeral. Hopefully we can bless them too from the top of the sky.

  61. Defencenet,
    I had a doubt that why Tamilnet was the first to say TS died, in fact most cases they kept everything to be published only if unavoidable. That’s why I made question that this is LTTE fabrication or LTTE inside act. However we should analyze the next situation before we go ahead with any operation or any comments.
    1. If he died who will be in charge in political wing and his or her abilities & weaknesses.
    2. If this is a fabrication or inside act why they have done this? does VP want to remove him so badly.
    3. If this is because of AF attacked they should be honored by finishing one of terror leader but we should not rush to do any offence to Vanni just because of this.

    However this is good time to make LTTE cadres insecure and more vulnerable and if SLA can kill few more terror leaders that will be a very good strength for our SLA to move forward and make feel uncomfortable among young LTTE cadres.

  70. Guys this is the day after the death of the pilot Paul Tibbets, Jr. best known for being the pilot of the Enola Gay, the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb.

    I wonder down the history lane whether one day a Sri Lanka Airforce Pilot would be known for delivery the lethal blow to kill TC !

    This unnamed pilot is one of the heros of this great air strike. Well done to the boys who supplied the intel too and the ground work!

    Well done comrades !

  74. Here is what I think happened....


    Tamilselvam is dead...Someone senior is also got injured seriously in this raid...That injured person could be senior than TC and LTTE might be thinking that he/they might also die in the near future..LTTE got panicked and annonced the TC's death inorder to cover up the other persons idetntity, so everyones focus is on TC...

    Now look out for the other top 5 LTTE leaders presence at the funerals...If any of them are going to miss these funerals...

    He/they is/are the injured/killed other senior tigers...

    Fingers crossed....
    Velu could be the other senior leader injured..

    asiantribune says another leader is injured...

    ReplyDelete
  75. Let us get the facts straight.

    LTTE attacked AAFB to achieve two things,

    1. Boost the morale of their carders before SLDF start the Wanni offensive.

    2. Reduce our surveillance capability.

    They achieved both.

    With the background of this, VP doesn't want anything going in our side to,

    1. Up our morale

    2. Show our capabilities on Air Power

    Under this situation, what VP is trying to is "Damage Control" and trying to draw sympathy.

    Even in a case that TC was killed by LTTE.


    Two possibilities
    1. The location was given to us by them and shows a huge collapse inside LTTE and TC loyal will start a sect or general fear will spread.

    2. Even TC was killed by other means or killed and placed in bomb site, it again shows a huge breakup.


    Third possibility. TC goes out of country.

    TC goes out of country at the cost of Higher morale of SLAF and deep bottom low morale on Diaspora and terror community. Is this a possibility, if possible I assure is VP is totally out of control nd somebody else is handling the media.


    All is all my conclusion is this is a major blow to the war machine of LTTE. They might get a slight advantage in painting TC as a political head rather than a terrorist. That will fade away soon.

  76. Guys it is the time to refocus on LTTE again.

    They are planning mass murder...

    No question about that...

    Don't underestimate the enemy, specially the LTTE..

    AAB would have avoided, if the SLDF didn't loose the focus...

    GOSL should be blamed partely for the false propaganda leading up to the AAB attack...

    We drop the guard...

    NEVER DO THAT WITH LTTE...

    Massive retaliation may be around the corner...

    Please be ready...

  81. Every citizen (patriotic) can play a part in this war.

    1. Do what ever possible to raise the Morale of our troops. Smile with them, wave to them, talk about their victories, be one with them in their failures.

    2. Be a MI person. Look around you. Look for any trouble. Report rapidly. Ordinary citizen can be a force multiplier.

  88. Guys, It is high time for Ranil to issue a press statement, something like,
    ' We condemn the attck on a political leader who is clearly not a armed cadre. This will gravely affect the possible peace talks in the future[ when i come to power]. Besides he is the only smiling person in LTTE. [very sweet]. I n addition he was a disabled person'

    And I think these an opportunity fpr VP to push his son in to the position. Well versed in English being educated in Ireland[ courtisy of Chandrika]

    ReplyDelete
  89. We should rebomb the same place about 15 to 30 minutes later when all the attaboys come to help. Then we could kill may be about 30, 40 LTTE'rs. There was a mojor search operation in Killinochchi probably looking for LRP boys. The other on who is injured also seems to be a big gun. Apparently they were desparately looking for blood for the injured.

  97. I think the following is the TCs deadly attack reported on defence.lk around 9 am. I can now attach a lot of credibility to news items appearing on defence.lk seeing as this actually took place and yielded tremendous results.

    ..........

    Air Force bombs LTTE leaders' gathering place and Black tiger base - Kilinochchi
    Sri Lanka Air Force supersonic fighter jets simultaneously carried out two air sorties targeting a gathering place of LTTE leaders and a Black Tiger base in Kilinochchi this morning, November 02.

    According to the air force sources the air raid was launched at 6.00 a.m based on the information received from intelligence sources and continuous air surveillances conducted for a long period of time.

    One of the targets located at Thuruaiaru in Iranamadu which is believed as an LTTE leaders' hideout and the other, a black tiger base located at North-East of Iranamadu, were completely destroyed due to the air raid, pilots confirmed.

  98. If we are attacking the funeral.. We should be more careful cos LTTE will use some Human armor.. there is a very high possibility of civilians will (or force to attend) to that funaral

  99. Let's say we get close to Prabhakaran. Do you all think that prabhakaran will only think of fleeing when he is cornered?

    I am sure that the tyrant has made elaborate plans to escape and places to escape.

    From Air...
    It could be through an aircraft. A zlin? An amphibious craft that will be able to take off from Iranamadu wewa.

    I am sure that the tyrant has made elaborate
    plans to escape and places to escape if and
    when things get too hot.

    From the sea..
    Gets to the sea from a boat or a small
    submersible along a canal to sea and perhaps
    from there uses a
    specially made boat (on the lines of a suicide
    boat perhaps) that has a very
    small radar signature to get to a
    rendezvouz point in india? Or even a
    submersible that is capable of getting to
    india? Or may be some sort of very high speed boad?

    From the ground...
    This is also a possibility. A super disguise
    and sneaks under the very noses
    of our check points etc. But rather
    unlikely.

    Simultaneous diversion...
    If at all this happens
    there will be a massive diversion
    to turn away attention from the
    grand escape.

    we should have special units dedicated within
    army, navy, air force, stf, police,
    intelligence to work around the clock to
    prevent, intercept and engage in such a scenario.
    If he manages to escapse this conflict
    may still go on for more decades.

    We must close the doors before the horse bolts
    this time. It may be a long way off.. and
    it might never happen in this way. But
    we must get ready for it..

    Fleeying of the tyrant is a possibilty but unlikely. I dont think VP could maitain his authority living abroad. There will definitley be infighting and eventually LTTE will break in to pieces.
    I doubt wether the frontline low level cadres even know about TS's death. There morale willbe temporarily low if they knows it.

  104. Many asked why LTTE announce this so quickly. Death of TC is some thing they can't hide. By being first their version got attention. Now TC is a political leader rather than a terrerist.

  106. This is great news! This guy, I don't think had a huge say in LTTE military operations. But by killing him we have proved that our attack capabilities are intact as the Air Force insisted after the A'pura attack.

    This would have definitely sent shock waves down VP's spin. We are slowly but surely coming for you, 'sir'!!!

    The fact that they admitted Thamil Selvam death is surprising. It'll be a interesting few days the next couple of days. Something tells me that someone else, bigger than or equal to Thamil Selvam is among the injured. My gut feeling is Pottu!

    "Even recently, a senior rebel source told me Thamilselvan was away in the north-west heading a rebel fighting unit."

    -ahh! so you are justifying the air attack now? You meant to say that he was doing political work in the 'north-east'.

    "Unlike many of his comrades, SP Thamilselvan did not look like a veteran guerrilla fighter. Dressed in a suit he could have passed himself off as an executive and was very at ease at the negotiating table."

    -damm! LTTE's CEO! lol

    " He was always keen to tell the world what was happening to the Tamil population in north-east Sri Lanka."

    -while smiling...

  146. To maintain the vigilance of the Forces at all times, important targets have to be taken out at regular intervals.

    Vigilance fails over prolongation, AAB is an example.

    Otherwise, follow the following Mantras to the letter, day and night:

    APPAMADO AMATHA PADAM
    A man who is alert, vigilant and diligent can never be subjugated.

    PAMADO MACHCHUNO PADAM
    A man who is not alert, vigilante and diligent, is as good as dead.

    We live a philosophy of the intellect (Buddhi), intellectual excellence is the minimum necessity. It has no place for complacency, it is in fact a philosophy of combat, no less than the combat against death itself. Nirvana is attaining the Deathless, after defeating death.

  147. Obviously this is a sign of things to come. The LTTE always waged 'total war' and they bet on making us not do the same in return. Preventing the SLG from taking the same stance was accomplished by manipulating world media and thru them the diplomatic community. That's how the LTTE's bogus, but very realistic looking 'invincibility' image was built up.
    Today, when the SLG takes the same stance of going for 'total war' the LTTE is no match. In that scenario, there is an important and urgent need to counter the peaceniks and other interested parties from preventing the SLG from accomplishing what needs to be done in order to bring in a lasting peace.

  149. Tropicalstorm,

    You nailed it right on the head.

    LTTE's strategy has always been to wage a total war with maximum force against the Sri Lankan government at all times.

    They have cleverly managed the NGOs, World Media, and the Diplomatic Community to put pressure on the government NOT to carry out such brutal force.

    Whenever the government take LTTE head on, they start crying foul and use peripheral attacks on the government. The NGO led bogus Human Rights Abuse attack is one of the biggest.

    Else they always have been claiming that the government is massacring the innocent civilians, despite all the governments efforts to minimise civilian casualties.

    They have created the illusionary invincible picture through utter manipulation. This should be broken down while removing dirty loin clothes of bogus NGO and media shackles.

    We are getting good at this. Unlike the folks in the World's Greatest self-proclaiming Democracy, Sri Lankans have proven that we are capable of fighting another twenty years of war if that becomes necessary.

  157. "david, I seen to disagree on the value of tamil chelvam. Looking at the Pro LTTERs on the LN, you dont see obiviously they try to play down the issue."

    I fail to see how you can deduce this from comments in a forum. His value was much more than just to morale. He was one of the highest ranking Tigers, second only to VP, and head of one of the LTTE wings.

    "However at the same time balasingam was not targeted by previous governments. "

    Balasingham was never involved in the military side of things. He remained quite firmly a theoretician and idealogue. He also spent a good portion of the past 25 years outside SL. To kill him would've been counter-productive to the GoSL as they would've been seen to have killed a moderate.

    "I would be suprised why MR would want to take out TC"

    Unlike AB, TC was also a military commander (for the Pooneryn and Mawilaru areas) and responsible for planning and strategy both in the past and present. A perfectly legit target even though VP has termed the man "Our Dove of Peace" lol.

    "However taking him out at this juncture could be MRs way to reverse the LTTE recent sucess which even Anti LTTE websites were seen to silently praise."

    Well, things like this don't happen overnight. The DMI would've been tracking TC and other Tiger brass for a long period of time (remember a DPU/LRRP unit narrowly missed TC back in 2002). So this is nothing to do with A'pura. I doubt the military really needs an executive order to top someone like TC. The GoSL probably has given the Forces a standing order to nail whoever they can.

    Abhaya, the reason I doubt that this is an inside job is that VP would not wish to give the GoSL such a morale-boosting victory. If TC had been killed by the Tigers, they would have blamed his death on an accident.

    "This is a Result of our Bad diplomacy with UN officials...."

    As Lankapura says, what they're accused of is soliciting prostitutes and statutary rape (sex with a minor). It's more indiscipline than real sexual abuse. Nontheless it's very embarrassing and a PR disaster for the Army and the GoSL. The MoD had already removed the battalion's 2/ic and two company commanders, so there was definitely a discipline problem.

    "What happens to all the honourable soldiers in the army because of this riff raff?"

    Don't be so naive, SL. What do you think the Army is made up of, boy scouts? Do you think its coincidence that the Holy City of Anuradhapura has more brothels per square km than any other urban centre in SL (including Colombo)? Young men like sex, and if it's not freely available, they try to buy it. The problem is if prostitution is illegal in Haiti, the soldiers should have been warned not to try it under severe penalties.

    "UN officials, & Western media is slowly turning against US, can't you see Guy's...........100 something soldiers done the same thing, i don't think so, maybe few did and they are punishing a whole unit,""

    TE, this isn't some insidious plot by the UN, but a result of the soldiers' own code of conduct. In training, if one unknown recruit fucks up, the whole platoon is punished, but if the platoon points out the guilty party, the platoon is still punished! So the unspoken code is never admit anything. So what probably happened is that the UN made the complaint to the battalion officers who would then have got the RSM to parade the unit and asked "kaudha huththo ara gonnu hikuway?" Silence. So as a result everyone got blaamed. But bottom line is that only 108 soldiers are being repatriated, which is about the strength of one company. A battalion has about 1200 officers & men at full strength. What was the SL detachment strength?

  158. Dear David,
    Thanks for your input.I was thinking that because of a few indisciplined individuals a lot of soldiers lost the chance to serve overseas not to mention the income they and therefore their families loose.I think the UN pays for this.No i dont expect them to be boyscouts but this is a question not only of discipline but how the world may see our armed forces after all this Bshit propagated by LTTE diasphora and the diplomatic damage that has to be redressed at a greater expense.Having sex in SL is fine...

  161. Hi Guys, How do we know TC is actually dead? There was no post postmortem - we have only LTTE's word.
    Since there was no chance of having any "peace talks" in any foreseeable future, and because Prabha wanted his son groomed as the next LTTE leader, he may have got TC to step down peacefully. They must have got his "polmudu" mustache shaved and provided one of those Norwegian passports bought from that crooked cop and getting ready to send him to Norway on retirement or most probably to organise fund raising and arms procurement!!
