Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Maybe it's an airship?

Libya 'to pull Swiss bank assets'
<!-- S BO --> <!-- S IIMA -->
Hannibal Gaddafi was briefly arrested in Geneva in July
<!-- E IIMA --> <!-- S SF -->

Libya is to withdraw assets from Swiss banks, estimated at $7bn, as a diplomatic row over the arrest of the Libyan leader's youngest son escalates.

Hannibal Gaddafi and his wife were detained in Geneva for assault in July, but the charges were later dropped.

The state-run news agency Jana also said that Libya was halting oil shipments to Switzerland.

An unnamed foreign ministry official said it was for the "poor treatment of Libyan diplomats and businessmen".
