Rebel Commander Abdel Fattah Yunis has been killed in somewhat shady circumstances following a hearing before a judicial committee in Benghazi investigating his possible continued links to weapons smuggling to the Gadaffi regime.
This is not good. Not good at all- I've got my fingers crossed that the NTC can get through this and keep going, but Yunis was the highest profile professional soldier they had and with his absence, there's a real chance that what little momentum they had could vanish completely.
Really hoping they can get through this- these guys have been fighting hard and if they hang together, I think they're a month, maybe 2 away from wrapping this thing up and taking Tripoli. But only if they can hang together...
