Daniel Pipes:...tyrants will fabricate about anything, even the deaths
of their own family members.

Hana al-Qaddafi as a 20-year-old and as a baby.
She isn't bad looking, but the fact that she is a fan of the
Backstreet Boys and Sex in the City that was filmed in Dubai leads me to
believe that she is a terrorist. ...that was a joke. geez!

One curious side-show of the collapse of Mu'ammar al-Qaddafi's regime is a revelation about his (possibly adopted) daughter
Hana, born on November 11 1985. Qaddafi repeatedly claimed that this child, six months old at the
time of the U.S. strike on Libya in April 1986, had been killed in that attack. In contrast, many
observers counter-claimed that the child either did not exist or was not his.
Turns out, both sides were wrong. She was his daughter and she survived the attack. Martin Evans reports in the
The Daily Telegraph that Rebels searching Gaddafi's Bab al-Azizia base, discovered a series of documents and photographs suggesting a bedroom in
the complex belonged to a young female medical graduate by the name of Hana Gaddafi. The room was furnished in a western style and contained items including CDs, a Sex and the City box set, a poster of the American band the Backstreet Boys, cellulite treatments and WellWoman vitamins. A journalist from the Irish Times, who gained access to the room also discovered a passport, photographs and other personal documents bearing the name Hana Gaddafi. One certificate that was discovered recorded the fact a student by the name of Hana Moammer Gaddafi obtained an A grade in an English course run by the British Council in Tripoli in July 2007. Qaddafi exploited Hana's alleged death to rally Libyans against the West; and it may have played a role in his decision to help with the
1988 bombing of Pan Am 103.
