Younis dead, and it's time for Libyan Rebel's political cleansing?

The killing of former Gaddafi interior minister and now rebel military chief, most likely by rebel militias, raises questions concerning loyalties and divisions in Libya's continuing civil war. And yes, rebels say they unmasked secret pro-Gadhafi group, by launching a political cleasing on July 31 through using the death of Younis.

The assassination of Abdel Fattah Younes has hurt the opposition just as it was winning broader international recognition and launching an offensive against Gaddafi's forces in the Western Mountains area.


Libyan rebel leaders said Sunday their forces hunted down and clashed with supporters of Moammar Gadhafi who had been posing as rebel fighters to infiltrate the opposition's eastern stronghold. The overnight battle killed four from each side and added to a sense of crisis within the rebel movement.


Rebels were divided over who had killed Younes, some suspecting his execution was ordered by rebel leaders for treason, many believing he was killed by Gaddafi supporters who had infiltrated rebel ranks, and still others suggesting a rebel splinter group had acted alone.


Libya's shaken rebels are trying to rid their ranks of enemies after the assassination last week of their military chief, Abdel-Fattah Younis. The leadership insists the slaying was the work of Gadhafi's regime, but several witnesses have said Younis was killed by fellow rebels.


As officials pieced together events leading up to Sunday's gunbattle, they announced that a faction of fighters called al-Nidaa was actually made up of Gadhafi loyalists posing as rebels. The revelation could raise questions about the loyalty of other rebel factions and sap the movement of much-needed unity in its push to topple Gadhafi nearly six months after the revolt began.


Tarhouni said late Friday a militiaman had been arrested and confessed that his subordinates had carried out the killing.


Younes had been part of Gaddafi's inner circle since the 1969 coup that brought the Libyan colonel to power. He was interior minister before defecting to the rebels in February.


Many rebels had been uncomfortable working under a man who had been so close to Gaddafi for 41 years, and rebel sources said on Thursday Younes had been recalled over suspicions he or his family were secretly in contact with the Libyan leader.

Rebels were divided over who had killed Younes, some suspecting his execution was ordered by rebel leaders for treason, many believing he was killed by Gaddafi supporters who had infiltrated rebel ranks, and still others suggesting a rebel splinter group had acted alone.


Suspicions about al-Nidaa were confirmed, a rebel security leader said, when intelligence officials determined the group was behind two prison breaks on Friday in the rebels' de facto capital of Benghazi. The prison breaks freed 200 to 300 inmates, including pro-Gadhafi mercenaries, fighters and other regime loyalists.


"These people took advantage of the chaos that resulted from the killing of Younis and entered and attacked the military prison and the (civilian) Kuwaitiya prison,"said the rebel's deputy interior minister, Mustafa al-Sagezli.


A battlefield commander who participated in the operation, Ismail Salabi, said four of those posing as rebels were also killed and 25 were captured. He described them as Libyans from the southern part of the country who belonged to the Gadhafi Brigades.


"This is a hard hit for the fifth column," he said.


Rebel forces also seized 40 of the freed prisoners, who were found hiding out with the fighters.

Talk of a fifth column—a group secretly sympathetic to the enemy—adds to the disarray that was set off with Thursday's killing of the chief rebel commander, Younis, in still mysterious circumstances. The leadership says authorities had arrested him on suspicion of mismanaging forces under his command and that gunmen attacked while he was being transported from one location to another under heavy guard.


Several rebels who witnessed the attack, however, said he was killed by his own side. Younis was Gadhafi's interior minister before defecting to join the rebels.


In the Nafusa mountains of western Libya near the Tunisian border, rebel forces said they were making gains in their push against Gadhafi forces.


"We are aware of the allegations related to this subject," a spokesman at NATO's operational headquarters in Naples said Sunday. "We cannot confirm them since we have nobody on the ground there."
