More from GlobalPost: Complete coverage of the fall of Gaddafi. The Libyan government didn't provide evidence of the arrest, which leaves some sceptical of the report, Al Jazeera reported. Ibrahim, who has a German-born wife and a young son, studied politics at the University of Exeter in the early s and worked on a PhD in media arts at Royal Holloway, University of London, completing his final exam in May - although he has not formally received his doctorate as supervisors are awaiting a small number of required amendments to his thesis.

Those who knew him in his student days describe a serious, friendly but short-tempered young man who caused a diplomatic incident on a university trip and attracted the attentions of the police in an ice cream-throwing incident. I know how decent the British people are.

Born in into Gaddafi's Qadhadhfa tribe, Ibrahim benefited from belonging to the same clan as the dictator, an association which would have made it easier for him to gain a place on the payroll of the state. One former visitor to his home in Libya recalls his family had a street reserved for themselves and enjoyed a visible level of wealth.

Dr Larbi Sadiki, a lecturer at Exeter who taught Ibrahim, remembers him as an engaging, friendly but serious student - "a nice guy but with a short fuse". According to Dr Sadiki, Ibrahim asked him not to disclose his connections to the Gaddafi regime although the student made no secret of his loyalty to his clan or his support for the dictator's son Saif. Dr Sadiki says Ibrahim joined his courses despite knowing that the lecturer was a critic of Gaddafi and an advocate of political reform in the Middle East.
