Mohammed Ismail, an aide to Saif al Islam Gaddafi, visited London in recent days on what was described as a private visit.

Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman confirmed that the UK authorities had been in contact with Libyan officials but insisted "there are no deals".
"The next steps need to be an end to violence and Gaddafi needs to go", said the spokesman.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman earlier neither confirmed nor denied the report, saying: "We are not going to provide a running commentary on our contact with Libyan officials."
Noman Benotman, a Libya expert and senior analyst at the Quilliam think tank, said he had heard Ismail proposed a scenario under which Gaddafi's sons would take over, or at least have a role in a new government, and their father would step aside.
"It's too late for that," Benotman said.
Ismail is now believed to be back in Libya.
