Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader V. Pirapaharan (C) pays his respects at the coffin of Tamil Tiger political wing leader S.P Thamilselvan in Kilinochchi, Sri Lanka, November 2, 2007. Thamilselvan, the rebels' main interlocutor at the last round of peace talks with the Sri Lankan government in October 2006, and the international face of the separatist group, was killed in a Sri Lankan air force bombing raid early on Friday, the rebels said, in what analysts warned was a body-blow to any hope of ending the conflict soon.
