Hannibal Gadhafi’s Lebanese Wife is Still in Libya, Brother Says

Aline Skaff, the Lebanese wife of Hannibal Gadhafi, is still in Libya and hasn’t attempted to flee the strife-torn country, her brother Danny told An Nahar newspaper.

“Aline last visited Beirut on New Year,” Danny Skaff said. “She comes to Lebanon at least twice or three times a year and spends around two months” here.

Asked if his sister was still in Libya, Danny told An Nahar: “Of course. She is there with the family and she hasn’t made a request to come to Lebanon.”

“Reports about a plane that was prevented from landing at Beirut airport and that reportedly Aline was on board are not true,” he stressed.

Danny said Aline’s father-in-law, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, has a sense of humor and Hannibal is modest.

The 31-year-old model met Hannibal in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Skeikh in 2000, her brother told An Nahar. “They later met in France and got married in Copenhagen in 2003.”

The couple has a son and a daughter.
