Squatters move into 'Gaddafi' house in London

Squatters have taken over a house thought to belong to Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, the second son of the Libyan dictator.

A group calling themselves "Topple the Tyrants" occupied the £10 million house in Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London.

The group have vowed to remain in place until the property's assets are returned to the Libyan people, according to reports.

Spokesman Montgomery Jones said: "We will stay here until we can be sure the property will be returned to its rightful owners.

"The police came to look around, then went away. The house isn't occupied at the moment but there are things to sit on."

The group said the property was managed by the Gaddafi family through a holding company registered in the British Virgin Islands.
