An angry Mohammed Agoury told The Associated Press that he was present when a group of rebels from a faction known as the February 17 Martyrs' Brigade came to Abdel-Fattah Younis' operations room outside Benghazi before dawn on Wednesday and took him away with them for interrogation.
Agoury said he tried to accompany his commander, "but Younis trusted them and went alone. Instead, they betrayed us and killed him," he said.
The February 17 Martyrs Brigade is a group made up of hundreds of civilians who took up arms to join the rebellion. Their fighters participate in the front-line battles with Gadhafi's forces, but also act as a semi-official internal security force for the opposition.
Some of its leadership comes from the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, an Islamic militant group that waged a campaign of violence against Gadhafi's regime in the 1990s.
Agoury said the brigade had an agenda against Younis, because he was previously Gadhafi's interior minister and was involved in the crackdown that crushed the LIFG.
Younis defected to the rebellion early in the uprising that began in February, bringing his forces into the opposition ranks, a move that at the time raised Western hopes that the uprising could succeed in forcing out the country's ruler of more than four decades.
But some on the rebel side remained deeply suspicious of him because of his longtime ties to Gadhafi.
"They don't trust anyone who was with Gadhafi's regime, they wanted revenge," said Agoury.
A member of the Martyr's Brigade said his group had evidence that Younis was a "traitor." He told the AP that "the evidence will come out in a few days." The brigade member spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals.
From the moment he switched sides and went over to the rebels in February, Abdel Fattah Younes was afraid of being assassinated - and with some justification.
Last February he was Libya's interior ministry, as well as the commander of its special forces.
His close friend Col Muammar Gaddafi sent him to his home town, Benghazi, with instructions to arrange a Tiananmen Square-style massacre of the demonstrators who were planning to demand an end to Col Gaddafi's rule.
But the demonstrators struck first and captured him. Gen Younes immediately announced that his plan all along had been to come to Benghazi in order to join the rebels.
The rebel leaders guessed that this was a fiction, but they could see the advantages in going along with it.
When I went to interview Gen Younes in Benghazi the next day, he was extremely nervous.
He had managed to hang on to his personal bodyguards and they were nervous too.
Gen Younes was an engaging man, well turned out and self-indulgent.
He frankly admitted his friendship with Col Gaddafi; they had been friends, he said, ever since they were at officer training college together, before the revolution of 1969.
But he maintained that Col Gaddafi was now seriously mentally unstable and that Libya had become deeply corrupt. For these reasons, as well as for sheer self-preservation, he felt justified in switching sides.
Still, his new colleagues never trusted him, and individual rebel officers often chose to ignore his orders.
Because of his unpopularity with the soldiers he was not given a field command, but headed the war from his office in Benghazi.
As a result, his murder is unlikely to affect the running of the war, which - in spite of what most Western commentators believe - is not at all in stalemate.

Respecto a la información, me hace gracia que se critique a Telesur cuando es al menos la cadena que mas imagenes esta consiguiendo, tiene su linea editorial como todas, es que ahora parece que es la única cadena que cuenta las cosas como les sale de los hue.. cuando son todas igual y ya va para gustos de cada uno lo que le apetezca o no ver o escuchar.
Ahora pregunto creeis que se puede desatar una guerra civil dentro de la propia guerra?
Nunca he confiado de los opositores y menos de sus intenciones, pese a la ayuda internacional esta guerra lleva estancada mucho tiempo con pequeños movimientos, pero a grandes rasgos casi todo sigue igual que hace meses y eso puede ser peligroso, yo al contrario que muchos pienso que el tiempo juega a favor de Gadafi porque si ira olvidando el conflicto y su bando es una unidad monolitica, en cambio los opositores parece que pueden tener problemas internos dado el conglomerado tan curioso de ideologias, grúpos y tribus que lo forman.

Y no es estancamiento amigo M26J, eso es un golpe feroz, ahora están rodeados los 500 soldados de Gaddafi en la base de Tiji, último punto de Gaddafi en las Nefusa.
Saludos
