Tamil Tiger leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran's body has been recovered from an ambulance troops destroyed as it sped out of the war zone early on Monday, military sources said.
"It was confirmed Prabhakaran was killed when trying to flee in an ambulance before dawn. We are waiting for the official announcement by the president," a military source said on condition of anonymity. Four other sources confirmed the account.
There was no immediate official comment from the military.
State TV also broadcast images of the corpse of Prabhakaran's son and heir apparent, Charles Anthony, for the first time.
