BBC News Magazine in front of the daily occurrences of his media have made Moussa Ibrahim familiar. Information Minister al-Gaddafi was Col 15 years in the United Kingdom, but how much we really know about him?His smooth, confident demeanour, crisp dress sense and thanks to English, he is the face that Tripoli wants to show to the rest of the beleaguered leadership.
Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf, Iraq's information Minister during the 2003 invasion, as the dolphin, the liability of the Comical Ali reg.HTA, his unlikely-Moussa Ibrahim has become familiar to millions under the main fire.
But Ibrahim is not fun, to try to discredit the image of his Icy Libyan woman, who told foreign journalists he had been raped by members of the Government Militia.
His laconic, quietly determined to give him a delivery does not normally associated with the Al-Gaddafi and his associates even if his status is reflected in his rapid expansion from the Unknown information Minister Government spokesman gravitas.
What British audiences watching can be realised is that this al-Gaddafi, the Advocate General in his neatly trimmed goatee Beard and open-neck shirts, had 15 years of his training in the UK with the forbidden.Ibrahim, who has a German wife and young son, studied at the University of Exeter in politics at the beginning of the 21st century and worked in media art, Royal Holloway, University of London, Completing his final exam may 2010 PhD-even if he is formally received the doctorate as the supervisory authorities of the small number of the pending changes to his thesis.
Those who knew him in his student days is a general term used to describe severe, friendly but short-tempered young man, who caused a diplomatic incident the University attract ice voyage and throwing attentions of the police of the incident.
Ibrahim escaped narrowly, causing a diplomatic crisis in Jordan during a visit to Exeter student"I have lived in London for 15 years," he told Sky News recent interview. "I know every street in London. I know how the British people are decent. "
Born in 1974, the Al-Gaddafi's Qadhadhfa tribe, Ibrahim did not benefit from the same clan as in dictator, coupling, which is facilitated by the Office of the State payroll, he competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics.
One of his former home in Libya to remind the visitor of his family, was himself busy in the street and enjoy the level of wealth is visible.
Dr Larbi Sadiki, lecturer at Exeter, who teaches him the statue, recalled Ibrahim-friendly but serious student-"a nice guy, but short-fuse".
According to Dr. Ibrahim asked him to resign Sadiki's connections to the Al-Gaddafi, even if the student does not have the secret to his or her loyalty to his clan in support of the dictator or his or her son Saif. "He had to protect the dynasty, and is currently being cultivated to serve it," the academic mind.
Dr Sadiki, says Ibrahim, despite knowing he joined the courses, the teacher was a critic and an advocate of al-Gaddafi, political reforms in the Middle East. Saif al-Gaddafi, as Dr Sadiki, says Ibrahim spoke the language of democracy, even if the "policy is something else."
Two incidents of travel in computer science from the University of Jordan in 2000, the stick in the mind of Dr. Sadiki.
Ibrahim rose rapidly through the ranks in the elite of LibyaThe first was to intervene to keep the academic Ibrahim after the Jordanian police custody ran out of the student cast ice-cream supplier Petra Street archaeological site.
The second, which took place in University party passed the US Embassy in Amman to heavily, makers of the minibus. Suddenly the vehicle was surrounded by Embassy security and Jordanian intelligence, intelligence officers had been on board: one of the filming of the video camera in the building.
Ibrahim, the fact was the video chat and, taking into account the fact that Libya was still on when the effects of international pariah, were serious.
"I have spent days at the end of the Jordanian intelligence HQ at the same time, my students that Moussa kuulustelivat," Dr Sadiki recalls.
"The night before, fortunately, we had the reception in the UK Ambassador for appealing. So I have to re-connected, the Ambassador of the UK-work secured the release of 12, Moussa: hours later.
"Such as spy-film of the UK-the Ambassador of the Republic and of the myself waited until the intelligence, Moussa Hilton, brought him back to the data is about."
Another witness, who remembers both incidents was the Brieg Powel-then the policy studies, Ibrahim, now lecturer of international relations, University of Plymouth, as the same, of course.
His memory is personale, however, the character that appeared in his older years.
"When I saw him on television, he appeared younger than he actually back then," says Dr. Powel."He was amiable fellow. He was apparently quite wealthy, as he used to Turn all these gadgets-video camera, of course, and dictation devices. I remember he used to go to London a lot. "
However, he spent his time in the capital, it is not the Libyan human rights organisations-which, for the most part, opponents Al-Gaddafi had with the community.
Ashur Shamis, London based on a Libyan dissident. says, the majority of his compatriots do not even know the news until he began to Ibrahim bulletins mentioned at the beginning of the conflict.
"He does not come close to us because of his closeness of the Al-Gaddafi regime, because he was a member of the acolyte," says Mr. Shamis.
"Very quickly. He rose. Minutes after, he is a spokesman, he is Minister of information in the following minutes. He is of course very well. "
Fast-moving events is shaking, it is impossible to anticipate the Libya, what happens to Ibrahim. But even if his dedication al-Gaddafi-system is always assigned to him, so too is his years in the United Kingdom, have left their mark.
