A message to “the Transitional National Council head” Mustafa Abdel Jalil: We will walk with you all the way, Abdel Fattah Younes’s nephew Mohammed Younes told a crowd of mourners in the main square of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi.
"Libya first, until God gives us victory or chooses us as martyrs."
Other family members were beside him.
Younes was killed in mysterious circumstances on Thursday after being recalled to Benghazi from the frontline near the oil port of Brega.
Some analysts say Gaddafi agents may have been responsible, others that it reveals serious faction-fighting among the rebels.
