CAIRO: The former spokesman for deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has been expelled from Egypt, a state newspaper said yesterday, though the spokesman disputed the report.
The website of Egypt’s state newspaper Al Ahram said Egyptian authorities asked Moussa Ibrahim to leave the country at the request of the Libyan government of Prime Minister Abdullah Al Thinni.
The article included what it said was a copy of a request by the Libyan interior ministry to extradite Ibrahim. Ibrahim, reached over Facebook, denied that he had been thrown out of Egypt, saying that he had left the country because of work commitments in Serbia. Ibrahim was the face of Gaddafi’s rule in its final months, appearing on Arab and Western media outlets to defend and explain government actions.
