Libya: Former Rebel Leader Sought for Questioning in General’s Death
|
Version 0 of 1. A Libyan court on Wednesday ordered Mustafa Abdel Jalil, a former political leader of rebels who toppled Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi last year, to be questioned by military prosecutors in the killing of the insurgents’ top field commander, Gen. Abdel Fattah Younes. General Younes, who was Colonel Qaddafi’s interior minister before he switched to the rebel cause, was killed by gunmen on his own side in July 2011. His death revealed ideological splits in the rebel movement and was seen as the work of a faction that mistrusted any former loyalist holding a commanding position in the insurgency. |
