The Tamil National People's Front (TNPF) commemorated S. P. Thamilselvan, the head of the political wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), who was assassinated by the Sri Lankan air force (SLAF) 15 years ago.
Flowers were laid and a lamp lit to remember Brigadier Thamilselvan who was killed on November 2, 2007 after Sri Lankan air force jets carried out a strike on a residence of members of the LTTE's political division. Five other LTTE officials - Lt. Col. Anpumani (Alex), Major Mikuthan, Major Nethaaji, Lt. Aadchiveal and Lt. Maavaikkumaran - were killed alongside Brigadier Thamilselvan, in the attack.
