...Libya's elite army unit, insofar as they have one, formed from a mixture of paratroopers and commandos. The group emerged from a militia with the same name in 2010. It now numbers a few thousand and reports to the Ministry of Defence. It deployed in Benghazi in an attempt to control the carnage. As a result, it has been attacked and several of its officers murdered. The force is popular in Benghazi for its stance against Ansar al-Sharia group...
Investigations Unit, Fadel Al-Hassi, confirmed the grisly killing to the Libya Herald but said he was unable to divulge the victim's name.
There has been an increase in the use of decapitation as a tactic of intimidation in Benghazi and Derna in recent months.
At the end of July a Filipino worker's head was removed, allegedly because of his Christian faith. In May the severed head of a Derna student, who was said to have challenged an Islamist brigade, was found dumped in a mosque in the town.
