Hours after the mystery surrounding the death of intelligence chief Abdel Qader El-Tohamy, the Libyan government of Al-Wefaq announced Sunday that the latter had died of a heart attack on Saturday.
Al-Wefaq’s media office on Twitter, citing a statement by the Presidential Council, said Al-Tohamy died Saturday “after a sudden heart attack.”
The Presidential Council mourned the head of the intelligence agency, whose reports came into conflict at dawn this morning about the causes of his death, and Al-Wefaq’s silence increased this conflict.
Libyan sources indicated that the official had been killed two days after being kidnapped by the “Al-Nawasi” militia, while accounts close to the Al-Wefaq government indicated that the death was caused by a heart attack and was later transferred to the hospital where he passed away.
In addition, other sources reported that al-Wwasq’s Al-Nawasi militia affiliated with the Interior Ministry handed over his body to his family two days after his arrest, suggesting that it could be physically removed.
It should be noted that Major General Abdul Qadir Al-Tohamy has been at the head of the intelligence service in the Al-Wefaq government since April 2017, and is one of Muammar Gaddafi’s men, as he was an officer of the security apparatus external.
He returned to the current Libyan scene 6 years after the overthrow of the previous regime, where he was appointed director of the National Center to Combat Illegal Immigration, and after 4 months he was assigned to head the intelligence service.
