Gaddafi's Ex-Spokesman Moussa Ibrahim 'Captured'

Muammar Gaddafi's former spokesman Moussa Ibrahim has reportedly been captured - exactly a year after the death of the Libyan dictator.

Ibrahim, who was the mouthpiece of the Gaddafi regime during last year's war, was caught in the town of Tarhouna, 40 miles south of Tripoli, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's office.

"Moussa Ibrahim has been arrested by forces belonging to the Libyan government in the town of Tarhouna and he is being transferred to Tripoli to begin interrogation," the statement said.

Despite the official statement, a recording, purportedly made by Ibrahim, insisted he had not been caught and was not in Libya. 

Scores of Libyans gathered at the main Martyrs' Square to celebrate the anniversary of Gaddafi's death and news of Ibrahim's capture.

"The happy news that we heard today, of course I am indescribably happy," said one local resident.

"That is why I went out to Martyrs' Square happy and I can't describe my feelings.

"I thank God and I pray that God protects our country and keeps it safe. I pray God helps us get the other remnants to complete our joy."

Another local resident, Yossef Abu Abeed said: "This is a happy moment which meets the anniversary of the death and capture of the biggest tyrant in history.

"Because God protected this revolution from the start, today in this anniversary, we have captured the horn who misled a lot of Libyans with the media as a weapon, namely Moussa Ibrahim."

Fluent in English, Ibrahim would hold regular press conferences in the luxury Tripoli hotel where journalists stayed during last year's war.

His whereabouts had been unknown since the fall of Tripoli in August 2011, although there had been past reports of his capture.

Saturday marks one year since Gaddafi's capture and death in his hometown of Sirte, after he was caught hiding in a drain pipe.
