Fears of a fracturing of Libya's opposition heightened after units loyal to the ruling National Transitional Council stormed the base of what it said was a renegade unit in the rebel capital, Benghazi.

Four fighters were killed and six wounded in the attack on the al-Nidaa Brigade, blamed for Thursday's assassination of army commander Abdel Fatah Younis.

NTC spokesman Mahmoud Shammam said the attack was ordered two days after the brigade, which officials claim is Islamist, attacked two Benghazi jails, freeing more than 200 inmates. "We consider them members of the fifth column,."

One unverified rumour in Benghazi is that the al-Nidaa brigade received secret coded orders communicated through an announcer, Yusef Shakir, on Muammar Gaddafi's state television. Three state TV transmitters were bombed by Nato on Saturday night. Gaddafi's regime claimed three journalists were killed and a further 15 people wounded.
