Photo no. 25
The unidentified man is Dzemal Bijedic from the former Yugoslavia, and judging by the architecture in the background the picture was taken somewhere in Yugoslavia as well.

I wonder what Human Rights
I wonder what Human Rights Watch is doing at the Qaddafi compound? Do they have mandate to take or should I say 'loot' goods from a post conflict zone which used to belong to a dictator? Its really interesting, cause ,hypothetically,if pro-qaddafi forces take away personal belongings from a houseowner,may be focefully in a time when they were power, perhaps the HRW would condemned it as violation of human rights.Having said that,I must say thanks for opening up Qaddafi's life:)

It's Amazing
I don't believe Gaddifi started out power hungry. But it is amazing what power can do to an individual. Which through time can destroy a nation and alienate its people. Sad but true.
