Many Libyans will rejoice over the news of the death of al-Werfalli but in #Benghazi this also means dangerous times could be ahead. Werfalli commanded the Saiqa brigade and his men were very loyal to him. They probably want revenge.
#Libya 🇱🇾: this footage reportedly shows al-Werfalli's body being taken away in aj ambulance moments after the assassination took place.

#Libya 🇱🇾: throughout the years al-Werfalli managed to escape arrest because he enjoyed the protection of #LNA leader Khalifa #Haftar.
Haftar even promoted Werfalli AFTER his execution videos had emerged.

#Libya 🇱🇾: in what is possibly the last video of him alive al-Werfalli and his men recorded themselves as they were smashing up a Toyota car dealership in #Benghazi three weeks ago. They had accused the owner of stealing money and taking it overseas.
