Libyan fighters find Gaddafi hit list

Libyan revolutionary forces
Libyan revolutionary forces have found a list with the names and addresses of dozens of their leaders planned to be target of attacks by loyalists of the country's ruler Muammar Gaddafi.


"There were around 60 people [on the list] including members of the Transitional National Council (TNC), the military council, and the cabinet of the TNC executive," said Mustafa al-Sagazly, deputy interior minister for fighters.  "There were names and addresses, some of the addresses were correct," AFP quoted Sagazly as saying on Tuesday.  The fighters found the list during a deadly five-hour battle with a group called the Katiba Nida Libya in Benghazi on Sunday. The cell is believed by the opposition to have links with the Gaddafi regime. Sixty-three members of the group were arrested as the operation dragged on into Monday, Sagazly said. Last week the group had orchestrated a prison break in Benghazi, leading to the escape of as many as 300 inmates, fighters said. The hit list was found days after the revolutionary forces military leader chief Abdel-Fatah Younis was assassinated. The TNC has blamed the killing on the Gaddafi regime However, Younis' son, Moatassim, has accused “traitors” among the revolutionaries for the death of his father.

“Individuals among us” have carried out the assassination "first to stop this revolution and secondly to incite violence in liberated cities," Moatassim said.
