Vigilance can authoritatively report that Minister for the Middle East and North Africa Alistair Burt has condemned in no unmistaken term the killing of National Transitional Council Military Commander General Abdel Fattah Younis.
As soon as he had heard the news of his death, the Minister for the Middle East said: “I condemn the killing of Abdel Fattah Younis. I have spoken to Chairman Abd Al-Jalil this morning and passed my sincere condolences to him and the NTC leadership."
Minister Burt added: “Exactly what happened remains unclear. I welcome Chairman Abd Al-Jalil’s statement yesterday that the killing will be thoroughly investigated, and he reiterated this to me during our conversation. We agreed that it is important that those responsible are held to account through proper judicial processes."
The General was a former Libyan Interior Minister and he joined the National Transitional Council in February at the beginning of the uprising against monster Muamar Qadhafi.
