"I can not even believe what I see," said Muftah Shubra, the population of the western district Nofleen of Tripoli, where he was walking on the lawn of the large indoor pool Aisha, a ball and a small boat floating in still water.
42 years of Kadhafi rule over Libya was a family business with the dictator distribution of the key areas of interest, from oil to security among its child of six.
In recent years, Gaddafi's sons was involved in a series of scandals: Hannibal was arrested in 2008 in Switzerland for mistreating their servants in a luxury hotel in Geneva and Muatassim would have paid $ 1 million for a private concert by the New Beyonce year.

Monday ', the day after thousands of rebels headed to Tripoli, about 200 people stormed the house of Al-Saadi, from the Mediterranean, said Seifallah Gneidi, 23, Tripoli, the rebels took part in looting.
Gneidi said he took a large bottle of gin, a toothbrush with a gold handle and a pair of Diesel jeans. "We wanted the things he had," said Gneidi, a Kalashnikov slung over his shoulder. He said the rebels are not accepting the looting of private property and not allow the destruction of symbols of the Gaddafi family abuses of power.
Gneidi said al-Saadi had four cars - a BMW, an Audi, a Lamborghini and a white Toyota - all of whom were driven out during the raid. His claim about the fate of the car could not be verified. A large painting of a yellow Lamborghini decorated the wall of its fleet from the bridge.
In an office space of the villa, so a lot of great journalists of catalogs for yachts and cars. A catalog of the Benetti company had a handwritten yellow post-it note attached a list price of a 30-meter yacht that 7 million. A gay porn DVD titled "Directions Boyz" slipped out of the stack of documents.
Business cards were scattered on the ground for a company called "natural selection" which are listed al-Saadi as a partner and executive producer with an address on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. The thieves left a black dress, apparently on the back of a "director's chair," reading the green. " Executive producer Al-Saadi Gaddafi "
Al-Saadi was concerned for his safety. Long an underground chamber with thick concrete walls in another villa, built the road.
The complex was also a grass football field. Al-Saadi, who was seen as a bad football player was involved in a Libyan club Al-Ahly. Al-Saadi also led to the Libyan Football Federation.
Beside the field there was a barbecue pit and two stores, one of which housed the guards and was full of ammunition, said Gneidi. Al-Saadi, also keeps dogs and has its own cage with four cages, one decorated with pictures of Dobermans.

If al-Saadi had a reputation as a troublemaker irresponsible, Aisha 35 years cultivated the image of concern for ordinary Libyans.
However, his neighbor, said that several years ago, a small neighborhood clinic was destroyed to make room for their home.
"We believe that this is not supposed to happen," Sharif Bin Suleiman, professor of 56 years, academic, said he and other leaders inspected the house. "It's a place that serves the community and then it serves no one."
The presence of young children has been felt throughout the house. A large playroom full of toys were party hats, and streamers were in a pile in the lobby, and his library contained a series of books for children.
