The military commander of the Libyan rebels fighting to topple Col Muammar Gaddafi has been killed, the rebel National Transitional Council says.<\/p>\n

NTC head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said Gen Abdel Fattah Younes was killed by pro-Gaddafi assailants, and the head of the group responsible had been arrested.<\/p>\n

He said Gen Younes was summoned for questioning about military operations, but never made it to the meeting.<\/p>\n

Reports said Gen Younes was suspected of ties to pro-Gaddafi forces.<\/p>\n

Gen Younes is a former Libyan interior minister who defected to the rebel side in February.<\/p>\n

Two aides to Gen Younes, Col Muhammad Khamis and Nasir al-Madhkur, were also killed in the attack, Mr Jalil said.<\/p>\n

Some unconfirmed reports said Gen Younes and two aides had been arrested earlier on Thursday near Libya’s eastern front.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
