Have a look inside Gaddafi's luxury palaces (Watch pics)

New Delhi: The Gaddafi family of Libya was famous for its luxurious life style. After the end of Gaddafi era, as rebels seized most of their properties, they were astounded to find the life of luxury his family was used to. As the rebels moved from one house to another, they were shocked to find that each palace was more opulent and luxurious than the previous one. Each of the houses was equipped with a hot-tub, and the complex also boasted several swimming pools, a scuba diving school and a horse-riding stable complete with a show-jumping circuit.
