a_kleberLeaders of one of Libya's largest and most powerful tribes have told BBC Newsnight that they will take their own revenge on the killers of the rebel commander, General Abdel Fattah Younes, if the country's new rulers fail to solve the case.
Elders of Younes' Obeidi tribe said senior officials in the National Transitional Council (NTC) conspired with Islamic extremists to kill the general, whose mutilated body was found along with those of two senior aides in a valley near the rebel-held city of Benghazi on 28 July 2011.
Several of his fingers had been cut off, one eye gouged out, his stomach cut open and his body burned.
The day before his body was found, Younes - the most senior defector to the rebels from Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's government - had been arrested on NTC orders, apparently over suspicions that he was failing to pursue military operations with sufficient vigour.
(...)
Mr Jalil said: "The nature of the killing suggests it was an act of personal revenge," adding that it was retribution for an operation by Gaddafi's forces against Islamist fighters in eastern Libya in the late 1990s.
However, Younes' family, local people and former Islamists say that he was not involved in that operation.
The general may have been killed because of suspicions that he maintained treacherous contacts with the old regime - although there is no evidence for that.
But his tribe believe the main reason is that he planned to disband independent brigades - including some led by Islamists - and merge them into a single national army.
His nephew Muhammad Hamid said: "Younes was their most dangerous enemy because he was a tough old soldier with charisma. He wanted to disarm these people and force them back to civilian life."
"These militias are outside the law. Their basic aim is to control the government of Libya. But the Council has been weak in taking action against them."

УПД. Кстати, тот факт, что трибальные старейшины нашли нужным обратиться с этим решением к ББС (!) - говорит о полном недоверии к НПС. Это жест. По сути ультиматум.
Исламисткий клерик из аппарата НПС на видео выглядит как совершенная змея. Но в любом случае я еще с марта помню глубочайшее недоверие трибальных старшин к исламистам. Они их ненавидят даже больше чем мы тут все на западе.
