UM KHUMSIS: Fighters of Libya's new regime on Saturday found bodies of four of their comrades reportedly executed by Moamer Kadhafi's forces on the eastern front, an AFP reporter said.
The bodies were buried on the side of the road near the town of Um Khumsis, about five kilometres (three miles) from the frontline of Sirte, the hometown of the now fugitive Libyan strongman.
According to witnesses cited by the Bedouin fighters of the National Transitional Council, a total of 11 prisoners were executed at the same time in the area from where Kadhafi forces withdrew five days ago.
The four men found dead on Saturday belonged to a reconnaissance team which was captured when the rebels were advancing on Bin Jawad, said Adel, a commander of the fighters.
The fighters were unable to identify the bodies.
