Sri Sabaratnam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sri Sabaratnam was the head of the Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO) from 1983 to 1986.[1] He was an "energetic and capable" leader, who substantially increased the TELO's strategic and political influence.[1] He was killed in April or May 1986 by the Tamil Tigers,[note 1] after which Selvam Adaikalanathan became the leader of the TELO.[5][6]

Notes

  1. Marks and Wilson state that he was killed in April or May,[1][2] while Wickramasinghe says April,[3] and Schmiegelow 1–3 May.[4]
