From his early days as a dashing revolutionary to his end as an international pariah, Muammar al-Qaddafi has always had an eye for style and a flair for self-presentation. Whether sporting simple clothes and close-cropped hair or the larger-than-life robes and long curls he eventually embraced, Qaddafi has always loved the camera, as evidenced by these glamour shots taken early in his four-decade reign.

Wow he looks so dramatically different in those pics. He must have had plastic surgery or something. Sean B, CEO

definitely was operated on
Gaddafi most likely underwent plastic surgery at some time in his life, but whatever he had done, it was not enough to make him look like a normal human being.

at peace already
Muammar Qaddafi is at peace already. Let us pray for what will be the future of Libya and the to all Libyans. Even though the dictator was gone there are still those rebels who wants to conquer the Miniclip places. I thinks its not easy to find a list building system.

Qaddafi looks really different. I was checking online for electric paper cutter when I found out about this slideshow. Looking at this picture made me realize how Libya went through.

Interesting
Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi wasn't always the lopsided, loopy, lunatic leader that he is today.copy ps3 games In fact, in 1969, when he led a bloodless coup and overthrew King Idris, the 27-year-old Gaddafi was downright handsome. watch football onlineCome along, then, and gaze at a young, fine-looking, buoyant Gaddafi. Pictured: Colonel Gaddafi, the newly-minted Libyan Head of State se nuke, shakes hands with the President of Mauritania in Tripoli.

what happened to Gaddafi?
It seems like over time Gaddafi got uglier and uglier. He was not a bad looking person in his younger years, but as time went on, he seemed to have fallen off a cliff and he started looking like the monster that he was. He really needed to learn how to get clear skin or at least how to get rid of acne overnight....good riddance to an ugly human being on the inside and outside.

No one knew what had happened
No one knew what had happened to the bodies of the roughly 1,200 prisoners who were mowed down at the Abu Salim prison in Tripoli in 1996, after they protested their detention conditions, for one. Somewhere in the files, there should be answers. Unfortunately, two rooms with documents at the prison were already smoldering when search team reached. respiratory therapist Thanks
