Slain Libyan chief's family vow allegiance to rebels

BENGHAZI, Libya, July 29 (Reuters) - Relatives of slain Libyan rebel military commander Abdel Fattah Younes vowed allegiance on Friday to the rebels' political leader in the fight against Muammar Gaddafi.

"A message to Mustafa Abdel Jalil: We will walk with you all the way," his 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.
