The founder of this terrorist group is Velupillai Prabhakaran who also headed most of its terrorist attacks since the formation of the group.
The aims of the Tamil Tigers is to create a distinct nation where the Sri Lankan Tamils can a form a social entity, with their own culture, history, language and traditions which is named the Tamil Eelam.
