Confusion is growing over the fate of Muammar Gaddafi's former spokesman Moussa Ibrahim, who has been reportedly captured - exactly a year after the death of the Libyan dictator.
Conflicting reports surround his whereabouts after an audio tape has surfaced purportedly made by Ibrahim, insisting he has not been caught and is not in Libya.
The prime minister's office had reported capturing Ibraham, who was the mouthpiece of the Gaddafi regime during last year's war, in the town of Tarhouna, 40 miles south of Tripoli.
"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.
Authorities have not provided any evidence of his capture, despite the official statement.
The recording emerged as fierce fighting between pro-government forces and fighters in Bani Walid - a former Gaddafi stronghold - killed at least 26 people and wounded more than 200.
On Saturday, scores of Libyans gathered at the main Martyrs' Square to celebrate the anniversary of Gaddafi's death and news of Ibrahim's capture.
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 marked one year since Gaddafi's capture and death in his hometown of Sirte, after he was caught hiding in a drain pipe.
