The student was identified as Hassan Hatem Abu Mustafa, 20, from Khan Younis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

During a phone interview, Hassan's sister told the Maan News Agency that African mercenaries, paid by the regime of Qaddafi, fired several live rounds at her brother in front of her home.

She added that her brother was searching for their uncle who went missing more than four days ago and is believed to have been kidnapped by armed militias.

She also stated that there is a dangerous level of incitement against the Palestinians in Libya, and that the mercenaries of the Qaddafi regime are responsible for several attacks against the Palestinians in the country.

Hassan is a second-year student of Engineering at the Misrata University.
