LTTE Diary: Prabakaran killed 300 cadres loyal to Mahattaya.....

Wednesday,August,31,2011
An LTTE diary in the hands of a Tiger cadre in Germany has revealed that slain LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabakaran ordered the massacre of 300 cadres loyal to his one time deputy leader,Mahendrarajah alias Mahattaya.Notes pertaining to threats on Anton Balasingham not to talk 'peace moves' issued by Prabakaran are also included in that diary,reports from Berlin said.

Prabakaran who fell out with Mahattaya over the latter's stand to seek a negotiated political settlement with the Colombo Government at that time, had personally shot dead Mahattaya near a Red Chilly chena cultivation in the thick jungles of Mullaitivu in the presence of Kittu,Raheem and Yogaratnam alias Yogi.At the time Mahattaya was killed, the trio Kittu, Raheem and Yogi were the trusted lieutenants of Prabakaran who spearheaded ground operations against the Sri Lankan military in the North.

Having shot dead Mahattaya, the remains of the slain LTTE deputy leader had been carried into the thick jungles and cremated, the diary has revealed.

Thereafter, 300 hundred hard core cadres allocated to Mahattaya had been targeted by Prabakaran and killed within six months laying booby traps,land mines and anti-personnel bombs on the paths they were directed to travel,the diary has noted.

The diary unfolds that the manner of the killing of Mahattaya was kept a well guarded secret in order to put the blame on the government security forces on the sudden disappearance of Mahattaya.However, after Prabakaran penalized Yogi and the LTTE 'Top Command' split,many well guarded secrets of the LTTE had been let out by disgruntled cadres.Many of them have been punished with death while Yogi was barricaded in Jaffna as a cricket coach prohibited to leave the peninsula without the consent of Prabakaran,the diary has unfolded.
