Clashes between a group of freedom fighters with support from commandos/special forces, and a group known as "The Call" (النداء), on Sunday. Three were killed and were wounded from the Free National Army. Five were wounded from the "The Call" group which included members of Gaddafi's revolutionary committee ( اللجان الثورية ) which is located in the area of Al-Rhaba (الرحبة ) and 24 of them were captured. 

A security source told New Quryna during a telephone call - that this group may have been involved in the assignation in the Major General Abdel Fattah Younes, confirming that this group had previously been causing a lot of trouble in Benghazi.

The source explained that this group had assassinated Colonel Omar Al-Warfali ( عمر الورفلي) front of his home, tried to poison the water supply, and was responsible for the bombings that had occurred in the city, previously. In addition, they had threatened a number of officials.

The source added that the group had tried to create discord and had thrown a bomb during the funeral wake for Major General Abdel-Fattah, near his home. They were also involved in the smuggling (sic) of prisoners in the city, early Thursday morning.

According to the source, the security authorities in Benghazi, had been watching the group, "The Call", because suspcious had fallen on them that they had been communicating with Gaddafi supporters. He confirmed that once the suspicions were proven, they were surrounded by a Brigade of freedom fighters at 2 a.m. They were asked to surrender and were given an hour and half to do so.

The source said that after the deadline expired, no member of the group surrendered. They then opened fire on them.  The freedom fighters had received orders to attack them and clashes continued for 5 hours.

He confirmed that 7 from "The Call" group – who were approximately 100 in number – surrendered. When the camp was raided, they found a number of mercenaries who have been smuggled from the prison last Thursday. They also found communications equipment and money in foreign currency, which is the (U.S) dollar.
