Gaddafi London Home Taken Over by Squatters

BBC: Squatters have taken over a London house thought to belong to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, police have confirmed.

A group calling itself "Topple The Tyrants" occupied the £10.9m house in Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London on Wednesday morning.

It said it would remain in place until confident the property's assets would be returned to the Libyan people.

The UK government froze assets owned by Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi and his family last week.

The group's spokesman, Montgomery Jones told the BBC: "Saif Gaddafi and the Gaddafi regime have taken millions of pounds, billions of pounds in fact away from the people of Libya and used residences like this.

"We've taken it so that it will be returned to its rightful owners who are the Libyan people." >>> | Wednesday, March 09, 2011
