moussa ibrahim -lrb- ; romanized also as `` mussa '' and `` musa '' , born 7 december 1974 -rrb- is a libyan political figure who rose to international attention in 2011 as muammar gaddafi 's information minister and official spokesman , serving in this role until the government was toppled in the libyan civil war .
ibrahim held frequent press conferences in the course of the war , denouncing rebel forces and the nato-led military intervention , often in defiant and impassioned tones .
