London, Mar 11 (ANI): Squatters are reportedly enjoying the Jacuzzi and other comforts available in the 12 million pounds London home of Colonel Muammar Gadaffi’s son, Saif al-Islam.

The Daily Mail quoted an insider as saying that intoxicated squatters were also using the swimming pool, hot tub and sauna at Saif’s house in Hampstead, North London.

“They were drinking and smoking and there was a real party atmosphere. People were in the swimming pool and the jacuzzi, which were ice cold, and then going into the sauna to warm up,” he said.

Libyan rebels of the Gaddafi regime had reportedly taken over the mansion on Wednesday night and have renamed it as ‘the Embassy of Rebel Libya’.

Photographs taken inside the house showed the group posing with the Libyan flag as they sprawled across designer furniture, with widescreen television screens in every room, the paper said.

The insider also claimed that the squatters were later joined by Libyan exiles.

“At first it was a mix of hippy activists, international students and anarchist-types who had obviously done this before - they knew the law and what to do. There was quite a party atmosphere, but then the leaders started setting out rules, saying there should be no drinking, no excess, and that we should only light candles, or we could be charged with stealing electricity,” he said.

“As the night went on, more Libyans started arriving, and the atmosphere changed. They were saying we needed to keep the house in trust for the Libyan people,” the insider added.

Saif Gaddafi lived in London when he was a PhD student at the London School of Economics. (ANI)
