NEW DELHI, April 28: Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa says he wants to catch LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran alive.

In an interview broadcast today on CNN-IBN, an Indian television channel, he said he will first put Prabhakaran on trial in Sri Lanka for the innumerable killings and other crimes committed, and then extradite him to India, where he is wanted for the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at an election rally at Sriperumbudur near Chennai in May 1991.
