English books on war strategy with Tamil translations and maps showing LTTE sea routes and several personal documents of Prabhakaran, including bank account deatils, were some of the articles recovered from Wanni with the help of the slain LTTE chief’s personal assistant and body guard.

The Tamil translations were provided to the LTTE cadres during the war against the Sri Lankan Army.

Files with more than 270 personal documents belonging to Prabhakaran in three large plastic containers were recovered from Vellamullivaikkal, the final ‘no fire zone´ in the 30-year-old civil war, in Mullaittivu.

Deputy Inspector General of Police Anura Senanayaka said the articles were recovered at the end of a six-day search operation conducted by a police team in the former LTTE-held areas.
