But the evidence of a brutal end were clear. One of the corpses had been cleanly decapitated, while the trousers of another had been ripped down to his ankles, a way of humiliating a dead enemy.

The green uniforms were the same as those worn by loyalists fighting for Col. Muammer Gaddafi in Libya's civil war. No one from the rebel side claimed the corpses, or declared their loved ones missing.

There was no funeral, or call to the media by the rebels to see the 'atrocities committed by the regime'.

Since the bodies were seen by the Daily Telegraph attempts to discover their identities have been unsuccessful, in part because of obstruction by rebel authorities in the area. Having highlighted the discovery to those authorities the area was subsequently bulldozed and the bodies dissappeared.

The find will add to concerns highlighted in recent days over human rights violations by rebel forces. Human Rights Watch last week said that had looted homes, shops and hospitals and beaten captives as they advanced.

(...)

But Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both said there were documented cases of extra-judicial killings by rebel forces, including deaths in custody under torture.

In particular, in the early phases of the uprising, loyalists and sub-Saharan Africans accused of being mercenaries were lynched. Since then, men in rebel-held areas suspected of being members of Col Gaddafi's security services have been taken from the homes, and subsequently found dead with their hands tied.

Both organisations say these are not on the scale of the abuses perpetrated by the regime. "We have come across a number of cases of executions of suspected Gaddafi fighters in both the east and the west," said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director of HRW.

"I does fit a consistent pattern, though I don't think these killings are authorised by the rebel authorities in Benghazi."

Rebellen Libi� sturen geheime agenten naar Tripoli


De opstandelingen in Libi� die hun basis in de noordoostelijke regio Cyrenaica hebben, sturen gewapende geheim agenten naar de machtsbasis van het regime, de hoofdstad Tripoli in het noordwesten van het land.
Een commandant van de Libisch rebellen, Fawzi Bukatif, zei donderdagavond in Benghazi dat er kleine groepjes goed getrainde opstandelingen naar Tripoli zijn gestuurd. Zijn opmerking volgde op geruchten in Tripoli dat er donderdag moordaanslagen waren gepleegd op prominenten van het regime. Bukatif wist daar niets van, maar zei dat het mogelijk is.

Rusland en Libi� bespreken vertrek Kaddafi 'concreet'
Topdiplomaten van Rusland en Libi� hebben deze week in Moskou gesproken over het vertrek van de Libische leider Muammar Kaddafi. Het zou gaan om 'relatief concrete termen' waarin de toekomst van Kaddafi wordt besproken.

Het Russische persbureau Interfax meldt het bericht vandaag op gezag van een bron binnen het Russische ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.

Volgens de bron is 'in betrekkelijk concrete termen' over Kaddafi's toekomst gesproken, 'mede in het licht van de contacten tussen de vertegenwoordigers van Kaddafi en de Amerikanen en Fransen'. De Libische minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, Abdelati al-Obeidi, sprak woensdag met zijn Russische ambtgenoot Sergej Lavrov.

Rusland hekelde deze week de Verenigde Staten en de andere landen die de Libische Overgangsraad in Benghazi hebben erkend als wettelijke vertegenwoordiger van het Libische volk. Volgens Moskou kiezen zij op die manier voor een politieke beweging in een burgeroorlog.

Wounded Gaddafi soldier says morale of troops is low

MISRATA, Libya July 22 (Reuters) - Morale is low among troops fighting for Muammar Gaddafi on the front west of Misrata and many are reluctant to fight back against rebel attacks, a recently-wounded loyalist soldier told Reuters on Friday.

"Most of them are exhausted, especially as we approach the month of Ramadan," said the soldier, who spoke on condition his name and his hometown not be mentioned for fear of reprisals against his family. "They don't want to fight during Ramadan."

"They want everything to settle and we're all Libyan brothers," he added. "We don't want to harm each other."

Muslims observe the month of Ramadan by fasting during daylight hours and praying. It is traditionally a time families spend together. This year's Ramadan promises to be gruelling for Muslims, starting during the hot and dry month of August.

The soldier gave the interview from his bed at Misrata's Al Hikma hospital with no one in the room except Reuters staff, offering a rare insight into the morale in Gaddafi's camp.

The soldier said he was shot in the left thigh two or three days ago by rebel fighters on the front line that has been pushed amid heavy fighting and bombardment to around 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Misrata.

That puts the front around 6 kilometres east of Zlitan, the largest city remaining between the rebels and the capital Tripoli 160 km away.

Rebel fighters in Misrata frequently say many of the young soldiers they come up against in combat seem reluctant to fight, an impression the young soldier confirmed.

"There is no organisation or planning," he said in a quiet voice. "Most times we withdraw."

TREATING BOTH SIDES

When asked why he had joined the fight against the rebels, the government soldier said he had been lied to at the military college he was attending when the uprising began.

"They didn't allow us to watch media channels," he said. "We were only allowed to watch Libyan (state) television."

"I was told (the rebels) were criminal gangs who mutilated bodies."

The soldier said he had expected to be treated badly when he was wounded and captured.

"I was treated with respect," he said. "I did not expect to be treated this well."

On a visit to the International Medical Corps field hospital behind the western front line on Wednesday, a Reuters team saw three wounded Gaddafi loyalists being treated as well as injured rebel fighters.

The hospital staff appeared to treat the patients according to the seriousness of their injury, not which side they were fighting on.

"We have treated those who were with us and those who were against us," said Faisal Mahmoud, a rebel fighter being treated at the hospital for a head injury and wounds to both arms sustained in a mortar attack this week.

The wounded Gaddafi loyalist said he was operated on before other rebel fighters injured the same day.

Both sides in the war that began with street protests across Libya for greater freedom back in February have accused the other of hiring mercenaries to fight. Rebels commonly refer to fighters from Chad or Algeria among Gaddafi's troops.

But the young soldier said "apart from a few people with strange dialects," he had not seen any sign of mercenaries.

Rebel commanders have also said recently they have encountered land mines ahead of Gaddafi loyalist positions, but the soldier said he was not aware of a major mining operation.

Asked what would happen to him when his wound was healed, the young man said he had been told he would be free to go.

"They told me that when things calm down 'we will send you back to your family and we will treat you well,'" he said.

US checks reports of ship carrying arms for Libya

WASHINGTON, July 22 (Reuters) - The United States is investigating reports that a ship carrying weapons for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces was allowed to dock in Algeria, which would be considered a violation of U.N. resolutions, a State Department official said on Friday.

The United States called on Algeria, if it was aware of the shipment, to stop it from reaching Gaddafi's forces.

Libyan opposition sources expressed concern about the ship, saying it was sailing under a Libyan flag, carrying weapons, and arrived on July 19 at the port of Djen Djen in Algeria, from where the cargo was being taken over the border into Libya.

"We have heard reports that a ship carrying arms to Gaddafi's regime was recently permitted to dock in Algeria and that these weapons are currently being transported overland into neighboring Libya," the State Department official told Reuters.

"The United States government is working to ascertain the veracity of these claims, which have only just come to light. If true, this would likely constitute a violation of U.N. Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973."

The United States this month formally recognized the rebel National Transitional Council as the legitimate interim government of Libya and has called on Gaddafi to step down.

The rebels have waged a five-month campaign seeking to oust Gaddafi, backed by NATO air strikes.

"The government of Algeria has told us on numerous occasions, and has stated publicly, that it has strictly adhered to all (U.N. Security Council resolutions) regarding the Libyan conflict," the State Department official said.

"We call on the government of Algeria to continue stringent enforcement of these resolutions and, if aware of this particular shipment of arms, to ensure that it does not reach Colonel Gaddafi's forces."

The Portuguese U.N. mission, which is chair of the Libya sanctions committee, said it had not received any notification of the alleged violation.

Gaddafi aide wounded in Tripoli rocket attack-rebel

ROME, July 22 (Reuters) - A Libyan rebel official said on Friday that a member of Muammar Gaddafi's inner circle had been seriously wounded by a rocket attack on a room in Tripoli where senior Libyan officials were meeting.

Ali Essawi, in charge of foreign affairs for the rebels fighting Gaddafi, said one of the Libyan leader's sons, Saif al-Islam, Prime Minister al-Baghdadi Ali Al-Mahmoudi, intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi and an official named Mansour Daw were in the room at the time of the attack on Thursday.

Daw is a former bodyguard of Gaddafi who is a close aide.

"Yesterday there was a very strong signal in Tripoli -- that there was an attack (on) an operations room where there were senior and high, top-level officials including Saif al-Islam, al-Baghdadi Mahmoudi, Abdullah Senussi and Mansour, who (was) severely injured," Essawi told a news conference in Rome.

"We confirm this."

He did not say how he knew of the attack in the Gaddafi-held Libyan capital or who was behind it. Officials of Gaddafi's government were not immediately available for comment.

Italy's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, who held talks with Essawi before they addressed reporters together, later said it was not clear which official had been seriously wounded, but that it was "probably" Daw.

De Britse nieuwszender beweert tevens dat enkele van de ambassadeleden al hebben aangegeven naar Benghazi af te reizen omdat zij zich willen aansluiten bij de anti-regimebeweging. Volgens persbureau AP erkent het Verenigd Koninkrijk de Nationale Overgangsraad in Libi� vanaf nu als legitieme volksvertegenwoordiging en regering.

De landen van de Libi� Contact Groep erkenden de Nationale Overgangsraad twee weken geleden als de legitieme autoriteit in Libi�. Volgens de Italiaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Franco Frattini liet dat Moammar Gaddafi geen andere keuze dan op te stappen.

Libyan rebel forces rescue 100 hostages from behind enemy lines

Fighters celebrate after audacious raid frees families snatched from Misrata by government troops and held for three months

Rebel forces in the besieged Libyan city of Misrata have announced the rescue from behind enemy lines of 105 civilians kidnapped by pro-Gaddafi forces.

Commanders said the rescue of families on Sunday was planned in co-ordination with Nato.

The captives were seized in the Ghiran district of Misrata on 24 April while fierce fighting raged in the city.

Art student Hawa Ahmed, 20, said she was woken that morning by government soldiers banging at her door.

"They told us we had 10 minutes to leave, we had no time to take anything," she said.

The troops said they had orders to evacuate the city and ordered families into their own cars. Ahmed's mother and father were not at home so she, her younger sister and brother were taken in her uncle's car.

"We drove out of the city, there were nine people in our car," she said. "The soldiers were very rude, shouting at us. They gave us no food, no water."

The journey ended 50 miles south at the small desert village of Garara Qataf, where the army told them to find their own accommodation.

Local families took them in but conditions were crowded, with 24 people sharing the house Ahmed was assigned, and 50 in a neighbouring property.

Men in the group were subjected to interrogations by government troops, who also set up checkpoints at either end of the village.

"They called us in many times, asking us pointless questions," said one of the kidnapped men, Amran Jusef, 55.

"When Nato [planes] came all the Gaddafi soldiers would run and hide, they would run away from their vehicles. One group hid in the mosque."

Back in Misrata, the missing were assumed to have been kidnapped but nothing more was known. City officials say more than 1,000 people have been abducted from Misrata's suburbs by government troops.

Then came a breakthrough. Although phone networks in Misrata have collapsed, the government mobile phone network is still functioning.

One of the younger men in the kidnapped group had spent time with the Halbus brigade, one of the groups of rebel fighters in the city, and remembered the satellite phone number of a commander.

A mobile phone was obtained and the number dialled – to be answered by a surprised Halbus brigade soldier.

Commanders of the brigade – the best equipped formation in the city's rebel force, armed with tanks, artillery and pickup trucks carrying anti-aircraft guns – immediately formed a rescue plan.

"At first it was impossible to fetch them," said operations officer Elabed Ben Taher. "But then we pushed eastwards and the families contacted us."

The rebels say Nato has told them not to advance beyond current front lines, allowing bomber jets to strike any military target they see beyond it.

"We informed Nato so they knew our positions – we told them we're going to get some families," said Taher.

At dawn on Sunday morning the raiding force drove through a lightly defended part of the frontline. One bonus was that the kidnapped families had been left their cars, so a rendezvous outside Garara Qataf was arranged.

The families were woken by a phone call at dawn. "I didn't know we had the possibility to escape, but the rebels planned it for many weeks," said Ahmed.

"We were told to get ready at six in the morning. We were very scared."

Then came a final hitch, when the Halbus column came across a patrol of three government jeeps. A short gun battle ended in the destruction of two jeeps with the third one fleeing.

At 9am the Halbus units met the refugees, filming the encounter, then pulled back to the Misrata front line.

For the city's rebels, it was a small victory in a bitter campaign.

For Ahmed and her two siblings, there is joy at being reunited with their parents.

"We are over-happy to be back," she said. "I don't believe I'm here, it was a nightmare. A nightmare."

Libyan refugee testimony28.07.2011
by Leonor Massanet and Flavio Signore

Flavio Signore is a film maker, and he and Leonor traveled recently to Libya as they often do, to record events on the ground so that the truth may be known about the aggression against Libya.


NATO's terrorist darlings admit they are only there to kill and destroy

The armed rebels, backed by NATO use very dangerous groups as an advanced patrol to scare the population into surrender. The Libyan people describe them as foreigners, without any goals. The first thing they do is rob the banks, setting fire to public places and they have a blacklist of people who are murdered as an "example," that is to say live slayings. Then they carve the corpses up and hang them on the square.

When these groups advanced across the border from Tunisia, they entered the city Wazin, west of Nalut. The locals had already heard about the atrocities committed, and in three hours most of the families left their homes and fled with nothing across the Sahara not to be located.

Font Size Send to friendFrom Wazin they went to Drhiba, a city on the border with Tunisia. It is only 5 Km away but they were driving 35 km / hour to go through Saharan dust. All families met in Drhiba and from there searched for cars and buses to go to Tripoli where they knew they would be protected.

The Wazin exit was April 21 and they arrived in Drhiba on April 22. Their route was: From Drhiba to Armada to Ben Guerdane (Tunisia) and Ras Ajdir which is on the northern border of Tunisia / Libya. There were almost 100 families altogether. Upon reaching the border, we were received by Libyan government officials, we were welcomed and they helped us to enter.

They divided us between the resort town of Suarah and initially they took us to a hotel and then we were brought here to Tilil in Sabrata. As soon as we arrived, the government gave us everything necessary to live, food, gasoline and everything we needed.

We visited the towns to interview refugees and we found a heavenly Mediterranean virgin beachfront place. Families there seem happy and relaxed despite sorrow and the difficult, bad situation they have lived through so recently. The children run about on the lawn and come to greet us.

The very hospitable families invited us to an afternoon snack and tea and were very open with us. They explained what happened to them, and also that it happens to many more families in Libya because once these groups of foreigner's patrols arrive, they are forced to flee, as well as when NATO bombs houses or places nearby.

The Libyan government does not allow anyone to be homeless for even one day, as we have seen. All tourist villages and hotels in Tripoli and the West are full of refugees. Some fled from Ijdabiya, Azzentan and many other places.

We told Aljazeera TV that they were bombing but they did nothing. The rebels have phoned them and told them that if they were on their side they would give them money.

They said that Qatar would help us, but they are a nation with long beards. They burned our homes and some of the other attackers were Tunisians and Egyptians. They say they are people "without a program," just burning and stealing. They say to us that they are not there for a revolution, but are only there to burn, break and kill.

NATO's continuous use of civilian targets for military purposes, a scenario which this military organization wantonly and callously calls "collateral damage", fits this clause exactly and would be the cornerstone of a case accusing this organisation of being guilty of war crimes;

2. Another clause of the same Article 3 could also be used:

"Massive destruction of cities, towns or villages or destruction not justified by military necessity".

The attack on Libya's water supply network on Friday July 22 and the attack on the factory making pipes for the supply system on Saturday July 23 in al-Brega were not covered under "military necessity" in which case, under Article 3, this was an act of wanton destruction of civilian structures with military hardware. This renders NATO liable for trial by its own court, the ICC at The Hague;

3. UNSC Resolution 2131 (XX) of 21 December 1965, containing the Declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention in the Domestic Affairs of States was backed up by Resolutions 31/91 of 14 December 1976, 32/153 of 19 December 1977, 33/74 of 15 December 1978, 34/101 of 14 December 1979 and 35/159 of 12 December 1980 on non-interference in the internal affairs of States;

NATO is hereby accused of taking sides in a civil war inside Libya, moreover there are indications that this is a civil war started by NATO member states:

3.1 There is evidence that armed groups fighting inside Libya include the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) which according to the British Government: "The LIFG seeks to replace the current Libyan regime with a hard-line Islamic state. The group is also part of the wider global Islamist extremist movement, as inspired by Al Qa'ida. The group has mounted several operations inside Libya, including a 1996 attempt to assassinate Mu'ammar Qadhafi" and for which reason is on the Home Office list of proscribed terrorist groups (1);

Why then is NATO supporting this terrorist group and others in an internal conflict?

4. Under the UN Charter, Chapter VI, Article 33, member states must "seek a solution by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or other peaceful means of their own choice".

Did NATO do this in the case of Libya? No, it used a false flag event, namely the massacre of civilians by "rebel" forces (the allegations must be investigated) (2) (3);

5. Under the UN Charter, Chapter VII, Article 46: "Plans for the application of armed force shall be made by the Security Council with the assistance of the Military Staff Committee". Such committee was never convened.

This is a violation of the UN Charter rendering Resolutions 1970 and 1973 (2011) void, as indeed rendered also the reaction from NATO after the above-mentioned false flag events;

6. Chapter VII, Article 51 refers to the right of States to defend themselves against armed insurgency:

Unarmed civilians

"Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security"

in which case NATO had no reason to attack the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya;

7. NATO's remit in Libya comes under UNSC Resolutions 1970 and 1973 (2011) which, summarised, concentrated on no boots on the ground in Libya among NATO forces and this is not the case - in the recent battle of Al-Brega, hundreds of French and British troops are alleged to have been caught (pending investigation);

8. Without any formal declaration of war, NATO's strikes against civilian structures come outside any possible conditions imposed by rules of engagement, in which case the armed attack against a civilian residence occasioning the murder of Muammar al-Qathafi's son Saif al-Arab al-Qathafi and three of his grandchildren would occasion a case for prosecution; furthermore other strikes against structures where Muammar al-Qathafi was alleged to have been would constitute cases for prosecution for attempted murder;

9. Violation of the Geneva Conventions by NATO: Under the Geneva Convention IV, Article 3 (a): "To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons: (a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds:"

Armed attacks with military hardware against civilian structures occasioning murder, grievous bodily harm of actual bodily harm render NATO liable under this clause.

10. The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) prohibits the use of chemical weapons. Therefore it is imperative to investigate the allegations that NATO used phosphorous in the battle of al-Brega between July 17 and July 24 2011.

For these ten (10) cases of violation or possible violation of international law, I hereby request that the competent authorities, upholders of international law perform their duty in investigating these allegations through due legal process and bring to a court of justice the perpetrators of these crimes;

For which I also call upon the UNO and the Member States party to its Charter to end the current conflict in Libya immediately as of July 24 2011 and for the proper institutions for crisis management to be used, as it was intended in the UN Charter.

In the name of Humankind, I subscribe,

He is being held at an undisclosed military garrison in Benghazi.

A rebel source said Younis was recalled from Brega early on Thursday, but could not say why.

Reuters news agency said a senior member of the NTC confirmed Younes was in Benghazi but said he had returned from the front line unhappy with the situation on the ground, and officials were trying to persuade him to return.

Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley, reporting from Benghazi, quoted unconfirmed reports as saying Libya's former minister of interior was arrested for dealing with and smuggling arms to Gaddafi loyalists. Younis defected to the rebel side in February.

"He spent 40 years as one of Gaddafi's right hand men as minister of defence and in charge of the special forces. So when he came over five months ago to the opposition cause it was quite a coup. But some people have had their doubts about… his loyalties...

Abdul Fatah Younis ambush killing blamed on pro-Gaddafi forces

Libyan rebel army leader's death announced at chaotic late-night press conference in Benghazi

The Libyan rebels' chief of army staff, Abdel Fatah Younis, has been killed in an assassination by pro-Gaddafi agents, according to the rebel authorities.

The president of the ruling National Transitional Council, Abdul Mustafa Jalil, made the dramatic announcement of the death of Younis at a chaotic late-night press conference at a hotel in Benghazi.

He told reporters that Younis had been called back from the frontline near Brega to Benghazi for questioning on the progress of the campaign, and suggested he had been killed by "pro-Gaddafi" forces on the route early in the morning.

But questions remain over the lack of detail over how Younis died or who killed him. The general usually travels inside an armoured car in a multi-vehicle convoy with 30 armed guards, posing problems for any potential assassination team.

Jalil said two senior rebel officers were killed alongside Younis, and demanded that what he called pro-Gaddafi elements he said were operating in Benghazi surrender or join the rebel forces.

The shock announcement came after a day of heated speculation that Younis had been arrested on the orders of Jalil. Younis was Gaddafi's former interior minister until he dramatically changed sides to join the revolution in February.

The rumours were still swirling late on Thursday night, with armed men declaring their support for Younis appearing on the streets of Benghazi, claiming they would use force to free him from NTC custody.

Soldiers loyal to Jalil from the 17 Brigade, Benghazi's elite unit, had surrounded Younis's house in the late afternoon.

Then in the evening, Jalil said at the press conference that "with regret" he had to announce the death of general Younis. Jalil called him "one of the heroes of the 17th of February revolution".

Minutes later, gunfire broke out in the street outside the Benghazi hotel where the announcement was made, with machine gun bullets smashing windows.

The press conference, which ended abruptly with the NTC president refusing to take questions, failed to explain how the general could have been ambushed in a highly guarded convoy.

Younis has been a controversial figure as head of the rebel forces because – until the uprising – he was Muammar Gaddafi's Interior Minister, one of his most trusted officials and confidants. The general's friendship with Gaddafi dated from 1969 when he joined a group of fresh-faced army officers in deposing Libya's king.

But when riots came to the streets of Benghazi in February, he dramatically switched sides, joining the rebels and bringing the city's interior ministry military brigade with him.

That brigade was crucial in helping the under-armed rebels fight off the attacks by regime forces in the first days of the fighting, and command of this unit is believed to have been the key to the decision of rebel leaders in appointing him army commander.

But his tenure as commander was stormy: he reportedly nearly came to blows with his rival for the army command, Klalifa Hefter, during a meeting in late March.

For much of that month both men claimed to be in command of the ragtag rebel forces as they raced west towards Tripoli, only to be thrown back towards Benghazi in chaos and confusion.

By April, Younis had won the political battle inside the National Transitional Council and was confirmed as chief of staff but he failed to use his new position to bring victory on the battlefield.

Since April, the frontline has remained largely in stalemate, despite heavy Nato bombing of government forces around the key oil town of Brega.

Younis launched an attack on Brega in June, only to see it beaten back.

Two weeks ago, aided by some of the heaviest Nato tactical bombing of the war, he tried again, with a three-pronged attack on the town.

Rebel military spokesmen repeatedly insisted that Brega was on the point of falling but, after a fortnight of fighting, the town remains in government hands.

The rebels in the besieged city of Misrata have conspicuously refused to accept orders from Younis, to the extent of insisting that their fighters are not part of the Benghazi-controlled National Army.

Many rebels were shocked by the news of the killing. "We respect him because he left Gaddafi; when he left a lot of colonels saw what Younis did and they defected also," said Farouk Ben Ahmeda, a rebel fighter in Misrata.

But few think that his military skills will be irreplaceable.

"I don't think that he was really a professional soldier; he didn't command the soldiers well," said Ben Ahmeda.

The assassination will cause embarrassment and concern for the Foreign Office in the UK, as it comes just a day after the foreign secretary, William Hague, said that Britain would recognise the NTC as the legitimate government of Libya and expelling Gaddafi's diplomats.

London had hoped that after months of work, the NTC was now fit to govern. Unless Jalil can provide a full and public account of the assassination and the circumstances around it, that opinion may need to be revised.

Libyan rebels say commander killed by allied militia

* Younes "killed by men sent to bring him to Benghazi"
* Assassination adds to West's worries about rebels
* Anti-Gaddafi forces claim towns near Tunisian border

BENGHAZI, Libya, July 29 (Reuters) - Libyan rebels said on Friday the gunmen who shot dead the rebel military chief were fighters of an allied militia, in apparent confirmation of deep rifts among the forces struggling to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi.

The reports follow 24 hours of confusion over the killing of Abdel Fattah Younes, a defector from Gaddafi's inner circle, whose death deals a blow both to the rebels and their Western backers.

There had been widespread speculation as to whether Younes had been killed in an internal rebel feud or by Gaddafi forces which had penetrated the Benghazi-based movement.

The killing of such a senior figure was a setback for the rebels as they were winning broader international recognition and launching an offensive in the west, and has deepened fears that divisions within the rebel camp will prolong the conflict.

Rebel minister Ali Tarhouni told reporters in Benghazi that an allied militia leader who had gone to fetch Younes from the front line had been arrested and had confessed that his subordinates had carried out the killing.

"It was not him. His lieutenants did it," Tarhouni said, without giving details about the militia. He added that the killers were still at large.

Rebel leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil said on Thursday Younes had been recalled for questioning to Benghazi but was killed before he arrived. Relatives said they retrieved a burned and bullet-riddled body.

CALLS FOR UNITY

The rebels have seized swathes of the country, but five months into the rebellion still appear far from ousting Gaddafi and remain poorly equipped.

Speculation about the assassination of Younes ranged widely. There were reports that he had been suspected of feeding the Gaddafi camp with information. One rebel commander said Islamists whom Younes had targeted in his job as interior minister may have been to blame.

The United States, which like some 30 other nations has formally recognised the opposition, said Younes's death was a blow but called for solidarity among the rebels.

"What's important is that they work both diligently and transparently to ensure the unity of the Libyan opposition," State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in Washington.

On Friday, weeping relatives and supporters brought Younes's coffin into the main square of Benghazi to mourn him, as fighters fired guns in the air.

Some family members vowed allegiance to the rebels' political leader. "A message to Mustafa Abdel Jalil: We will walk with you all the way," nephew Mohammed Younes told hundreds of mourners in the main square.

RUMOURS OF SECRET TALKS

Younes, from eastern Libya where the rebels are strongest, had been Gaddafi's interior minister but switched sides to become the military chief in the rebel Transitional National Council.

Rebel defence minister Omar Hariri, visiting the west, said Younes's death would have an impact on rebel fighters. "But they will recover, and there will be other leaders," he said.

Rebels took swathes of Libya soon after launching their uprising in February against Gaddafi's 41 years of domination of the oil-producing North African state, but have made few recent advances despite the support of NATO air strikes.

They said they had seized several towns in the Western Mountains on Thursday but are yet to make a major breakthrough.

A rebel commander near Ghezaia told Reuters on Friday that around 100 insurgents had taken control of the town, from which Gaddafi forces had dominated plains below the mountains.

Reuters could not go there to confirm the report as rebels said the area could be mined. But through binoculars from a rebel-held ridge near Nalut, reporters could see no sign of Gaddafi's forces in Ghezaia.

Fighters on the front line near the town of Misrata said they viewed Younes as a martyr and would avenge his death.

"It will be an extra motive for us in the fight against the tyrant," said Khaled al-Uwayyib.

With prospects fading for a negotiated settlement, the five-month-old civil war will grind on into the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in August.

Nick Witney, analyst at the European Council on Foreign Relations in Paris, said the West had hoped for a "nice simple conflict" with right prevailing, but this had ignored the nuanced, tribal nature of Libyan politics.

"It was a brave and right thing to do," he said. "But I feel we've lost the moral high ground a bit and wandered into something that will be prolonged and messy, but we're not in a position to sort out."

A major blow may have been dealt to the Libyan National Transitional Council with the killing of its senior military commander, General Abdel Fattah Younes, the chief of staff of the Libyan opposition army.

Right after the incident Mustafa Abdel Jalil, the head of the opposition, said Younes was killed on his way to a military council hearing along with two of his men.

Younes, a former aide and interior minister to Gaddafi, defected on February 20 and helped the mostly unarmed protesters in Benghazi overthrow the regime's military garnison there.

Who could have been behind the killing of Abdel Fatah Younes? And what will this mean for the rebels' campaign to remove Muammar Gaddafi from power?

Libya rebels take Zlitan as RAF clears way after two-month struggle

Bombing campaign destroys Gaddafi tanks, rocket launchers, ammunition dumps and command centres

Libyan rebels have entered the town of Zlitan after a weekend of heavy fighting in which Nato escalated its bombing campaign in the runup to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

RAF planes dropped 16 Paveway laser-guided bombs in two days around the town, destroying government tanks, rocket launchers, ammunition dumps and command centres, and clearing a path for the rebels.

The Ministry of Defence said RAF jets also attacked a railway construction site at Bani Walid, south-west of Zlitan, commandeered for use as a military fuel distribution facility.

Opposition fighters said the town, which they have struggled to capture for eight weeks, was quiet on Monday, with no sign of government troops. We are in the town centre and we have the hospital," said rebel fighter Yunus Al-Haq. "It's good for the spirit."

But securing the town for the opposition depends on clearing one final obstacle – agreement from the elders of the town's Fowater tribe that Misratan fighters can be "invited" to occupy Zlitan.

After that, rebel commanders expect government forces to pull back to Al Khums, 22 miles to the west. Despite the capture of tanks and heavy artillery over the weekend, rebel units are too lightly armed to contemplate a headlong rush to Tripoli. They have evolved a strategy of pressing against government lines, forcing Muammar Gaddafi to deploy forces in concentrations that provide inviting targets for Nato.

Nato bombing returns show that 54 military targets around Zlitan were destroyed since 25 July, one of the heaviest bombing concentrations of the war. The bombing appears to have caused government lines to crumble over the week, with rebels reporting that loyalist troops offered little resistance to their advance. Forty government troops gave themselves up on Sunday in the biggest one-day surrender of the war.

RAF Tornado and Typhoon aircraft were particularly active over the past few days, bombing of three satellite dishes used by Libyan state television. "This strike was an attempt to disrupt the broadcast of Gaddafi's murderous rhetoric, which has repeatedly sought to incite violence against fellow Libyans," said the chief military spokesman at the Ministry of Defence, Major General Nick Pope.

But British defence officials said the Nato campaign was likely to be scaled down during Ramadan, which started on Monday. They suggested that targets in Tripoli in particular would be avoided.

The fall of Zlitan also poses problems for Gaddafi in finding new troops to hold the expanding front line around Misrata without drawing off other forces needed on the eastern front and in the Nafusa mountains to the west. Both fronts were reportedly quiet on Monday, the eastern front still disrupted by confusion caused by Thursday's murder of army commander Abdul Fatah Youness and the Nafusa brigades massing for an attack on the town of Tiji, 150 miles south west of Tripoli. The onset of Ramadan saw Misrata go into semi-hibernation, and residents are hoping the capture of Zlitan will finally put Gaddafi's rockets out of range of a city that has been under bombardment since March.

France announced on Monday that it was releasing $259m (�159.14m) in frozen Libyan funds to the opposition and allowing the rebels' new ambassador to use the country's mothballed embassy in Paris.

The French foreign ministry said the money frozen in French banks must be used for humanitarian purposes, in accordance with European law.

The announcement came after the foreign finister, Alain Juppe, met Mansour Seyf al-Nasr, the Libyan opposition's ambassador to Paris.

"It is also very difficult for the opposition fighters for the very simple reaosn that they've been getting very mixed messages from the residents of Zlitan.

Others have told them that if [they] come closer to Zlitan - the suburbs of Zlitan, which is where they had reached until this morning - then there are rebels inside Zlitan that will rise and help you. Well that did not happen. And so the fighters of Misrata are very reluctant to go into Zlitan more at this stage, because they could be perceived by many of the people inside that town as invading their town, and bringing the fight to their town. So unless they get an invitation, as they call it, from the tribes of Zlitan it's very difficult for them to go in."

quote:

Rebels who seized the government-held town of Ghazaia in Libya's Western Mountain in a new offensive describe themselves as "liberators", but there were no cheers when they rolled in.

Its estimated 5,000 residents, supporters of Muammar Gaddafi, had been transported to his stronghold Tripoli by his militiamen, leaving behind a ghost town.

"We would have liked to have been welcomed here. These people all liked Gaddafi. They benefitted from him," said a rebel named Majdi, standing beside rows of houses built by Libyans aided by soft loans from the government.

(...)

Now rebels are surrounding the town of Tiji, which also supports Gaddafi. On Sunday afternoon rebels on the frontline fired tank shells and anti-aircraft guns at government forces.

"They like Gaddafi in Tiji," said a rebel named Osama as missiles were fired back, pounding the earth. "After Gaddafi loses we will remember that the people of Tiji loved him. That's why it's tough fighting here. It is a reality."

Another fighter who overheard quickly rushed over to correct him. "No. No everything will be fine. Libya will be stable," he said nervously.

Gadaffi-rebels in talks with islamist-government factions.TRIPOLI: After six months battling a rebellion that his family portrayed as an Islamist conspiracy, Muammar Gaddafi's son and one-time heir apparent has said he is reversing course to forge a behind-the-scenes alliance with radical Islamist elements among the Libyan rebels to drive out their more liberal-minded confederates.

''The liberals will escape or be killed,'' Saif al-Islam Gaddafi vowed in an hour-long interview.

''We will do it together,'' he added, wearing a newly grown beard and fingering Islamic prayer beads.

''Libya will look like Saudi Arabia, like Iran. So what?''

The leading Islamist whom Gaddafi identified as his main counterpart in the talks, Ali Sallabi, acknowledged their conversations but dismissed any suggestion of an alliance. He said the Libyan Islamists supported the rebel leaders' calls for a pluralistic democracy without the Gaddafis.

But the interview nonetheless offered a rare glimpse into the defiant, some say delusional, mentality of the Gaddafi family at a time when they have all but completely retreated from public view under the threat of a NATO bombing campaign and a six-month-old rebellion.

On one level, Gaddafi's avowed embrace of the Islamists represents a sharp personal reversal for a man who had long styled himself as a cosmopolitan, Anglophile advocate of Western-style liberal democracy. He continues to refer to the Islamists as ''terrorists'' and ''bloody men'' and says: ''We don't trust them but we have to deal with them.''

But it could also represent a twist on an old theme, a new version of the Gaddafi argument that by assisting the rebels the Western intervention could usher in a radical Islamist takeover. In a further taunt to the West, he suggested that the Gaddafis would help the Islamists stamp out the liberals.

''I know they are terrorists. They are bloody. They are not nice. But you have to accept them.''

Gaddafi insisted that he and the Islamists would announce a joint communique within days, from both Tripoli and the rebels' provisional capital of Benghazi. ''We will have peace during Ramadan,'' he said.

Less than a week after the mysterious killing of the rebels' top military commander, General Abdel Fattah Younis, by rebel gunmen, Gaddafi also seemed to be trying to capitalise on potential divisions within their ranks.

There have been suggestions that the general was killed by an Islamist faction, perhaps in retaliation for his actions in his former role as Muammar Gaddafi's interior minister, charged with the detention and torture of radical Islamists.

''They decided to get rid of those people - the ex-military people like Abdel Fattah and the liberals - to take control of the whole operation,'' Gaddafi said. ''In other words, to take off the mask.''

He said that the rebel-held eastern city of Darna, long known as a hotbed of Islamist activism, had already come to resemble the lawless regions of Pakistan. ''It is Waziristan on the Mediterranean,'' he said, adding that he had reached an agreement with local Islamists to allow them to make it ''an Islamic zone, like Mecca''.

Rebel leaders and Western governments have long acknowledged the presence of Islamists among the rebel fighters, including at least one who was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.

But Western governments have so far accepted the Libyan Islamists' pledges of support for a pluralistic democracy after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi, concluding that their agenda was purely domestic and posed no broader threat.

As for the future of an Islamist Libya, Gaddafi was vague on the details. He said he had agreed to Islamist demands to prohibit any constitution other than the Koran, though Sallabi, the Islamist leader, said he has written publicly in support of a civil constitution.

And Gaddafi refused to discuss his own or his father's future role. That was a question for after negotiating a peace, he said. ''It is like you shoot first and ask questions later.''

Rebels say NATO raid killed Gaddafi son

A NATO raid killed Muammar Gaddafi's son Khamis and more than 30 other people, rebels said Friday, as Tripoli accused the alliance of targeting civilian sites and trying to create a humanitarian crisis.

Khamis Gaddafi, 28, was confirmed to be among the dead following a NATO air strike on a command centre in the western town of Zliten, a rebel spokesman told AFP, citing spies operating among Gaddafi's ranks.

"Overnight there was a aircraft attack by NATO on the Gaddafi operations room in Zliten and there are around 32 Gaddafi troops killed. One of them is Khamis," said Mohammed Zawawi, a spokesman for the United Revolutionary Forces.

Rebels said their own operations room in eastern Libya had also intercepted radio chatter indicating Gaddafi's son had been killed.

There was no independent verification of his death, which has been rumoured a number of times during Libya's five month-long civil war.

At the Naples headquarters of NATO's Libya operations, an official asked about the claim, said: "We're looking into it."

Khamis, who was trained at a Russian military academy, commands the eponymous and much-feared Khamis Brigade -- one of the Libyan regime's toughest fighting units.

The strike appears to have come just hours after Tripoli took journalists on an escorted tour of the centre of Zliten, an effort to rubbish rebel claims the town was under attack.

Fighters from the rebel enclave of Misrata, 60 kilometres (37 miles) to the east, announced this week they had made progress in Zliten, a strategic coastal town on the road to Tripoli. But authorities in Tripoli quickly denied that, saying they controlled the entire town.

On Thursday an AFP journalist saw the town centre was in the hands of regime forces, although intensive artillery fire was heard in the distance.

Residents said the frontline is located at a distance of 10 to 15 kilometres (six to nine miles) east of the town centre while rebel official said they control three eastern neighbourhoods.

State television reported meanwhile that NATO warplanes struck Tripoli early on Friday, as the Gaddafi regime accused rebels of sabotaging a key pipeline feeding the country's sole functioning refinery.

About 10 loud explosions rocked the Libyan capital around 1:30 am (2330 GMT), an AFP journalist said.

Shortly afterwards, Libyan television said "civilian and military sites" at the southeastern suburb of Khellat al-Ferjan had been targeted by "the colonialist aggressor."

Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaaim meanwhile said late Thursday that rebel forces had sabotaged a pipeline in the strategic Nefusa mountains, southeast of Tripoli.

"The rebels turned off a valve and poured cement over it," he said, adding that this would lead to a shortage of electricity in the capital as oil and gas were used at the Zawiyah refinery to generate power.

Kaaim said food and medicine supplies were spoiling in the capital due to long power cuts. Tripoli residents complained Thursday of extensive blackouts and an acute shortage of gas canisters.

NATO "wants to create a humanitarian crisis in Libya while the aim of its mission is to protect civilians," Kaaim said.

The Khadafi regime tried Thursday to split the fractious Libyan opposition by claiming an alliance with Islamists.

After months of branding the entire opposition as radical extremists, the veteran leader's most prominent son, Seif al-Islam Gaddafi, spoke of a pact with Ali Sallabi, a leading Islamic cleric in the rebel-held east. Sallabi told AFP no pact existed, but he acknowledged talks had taken place with Seif al-Islam.Libya's rebel-held east was in the grips of a fallout from the assassination of General Abdel Fatah Yunis.

A group of 28 tribes and civil actors met the insurgent government, pressing for a full and transparent investigation into Yunis's death.

The facts surrounding the general's death have been opaque, with senior members of the NTC giving incomplete and contradictory accounts of how he died, who killed him and the motive for the murder.

The rebels scored a minor victory Thursday, when a massive oil tanker -- the 182-metre (600-foot) long "Cartagena" -- steamed into port at the eastern rebel stronghold of Benghazi. A rebel soldier said the vessel had been intercepted two days earlier near Tripoli with the help of NATO.

Despite the use of fixed wing aircraft and helicopter gunships and despite rebel claims that the town had fallen earlier this week, fighting raged yesterday on Zlitan's eastern fringes. A handful of loud explosions were accompanied by the whine of jet engines on Nato aircraft.

However the main impediment to the fall of the town is the hatred of local tribes towards Misuratans. The proximity of the two towns belies a deep-rooted antipathy.

Many local families are the descendants of slaves captured by the pirates that operated from Misurata in the 19th century.

"I have no friends or acquaintances from Misurata, I know nobody from there," said Khalifa Misha, a schools inspector. "They have no right to come here. We will resist this conquest until the last drop of blood."

Top rebellenraad Libi� ontslagen

Mustafa Abdel Jalil, de voorzitter van de Nationale Overgangsraad (NTC) in Libi�, heeft zijn belangrijkste ministers ontslagen. Dat meldde de woordvoerder van Abdel Jalil vanavond tegen een verslaggever van het persbureau AFP.

De NTC is de belangrijkste organisatie van de rebellen tegen het dictatoriale bewind van Muammar Kaddafi. De raad opereert vanuit de oostelijke stad Benghazi. Onlangs kwam onderlinge verdeeldheid bij de rebellen aan het licht, toen de belangrijkste militaire leider werd vermoord. Hij zou op eigen houtje gesprekken hebben aangeknoopt met Kaddafi.

Waarnemers spreken van een politieke crisis binnen de feitelijke regering van Oost-Libi�. Mahmud Jibril, die premier is binnen de NTC, gaat nu een nieuw kabinet samenstellen. Mohamed el-Kish, een andere belangrijke functionaris binnen de rebellenraad, bevestigde het nieuws. Volgens hem kunnen sommige ministers terugkeren in het nieuwe kabinet. Anderen zouden zeker niet meer in aanmerking komen voor ministersposten.
