#1 Major General Abdul-Fattah Younis is the head of the Military Council, a faction within the Libyan opposition's Transitional National Council. Younis previously held the position of Interior Minister in Qadaffy's regime; however he defected during the early days of the Libyan popular revolution.

A very bad decision, Abdul-Fattah. A very bad decision.
