Tunis, 9 June 2017:
Controversial Saiqa Special Forces commander Mahmoud Warfali has appeared in another execution video. In the undated video, four masked men stand behind four prisoners with pistols to their heads.
Warfali says the men deserve to die because they have killed innocent people.
While the video is undated, Warfali references Ramadan therefore suggesting the execution has taken place within the past two weeks.
Warfali says he and his men are honoured to kill these “terrorists” and to purify the world of their evil in “this holy month”.
A number of videos have been released in recent weeks months showing Warfali apparently involved in the execution of prisoners, with the result that war crime accusations have been levelled at him.
Last month he made a great show of resigning from Saiqa as the Libyan National Army (LNA) vowed to investigate any soldier accused of murder or human rights abuses.
However, the leader of Saiqa, Wanis Bukhamada rejected the resignation and instead promoted Warfali from captain to major.
The LNA has so far not reacted to the latest video.
