It doesn't look like Muhammad Gaddafi planned on going anywhere. Six months after a rebellion against his father began, the Libyan leader's eldest son was moving his family from his old home next door into this. His father was still on the furniture, cream for the new leather sofas is waiting to be applied. I have been around here in this house. You need the one week. Neighbor Muhammad Arab, who in regular times runs a car rental company, shows us room after newly finished room. If you want to compare it, maybe you can compare it with other Gaddafi sons or other VIPs here on Libya, who are worse and responsible in the government. You can't compare it with the normal people. A rebel fighter for the past three months, Arab points to signs that the leader's son knew he was not universally loved. There's a secret door in the bookcase. Muhammad Gaddafi's car is almost bulletproof, and the doors are heavily fortified. This bullet is a rebel surrounded the house a week ago and negotiated Muhammad Gaddafi's surrender. They say he asked for one hour before coming out, then seemed to change his mind, calling the Al Jazeera channel in apparent panic. I'm being attacked right now. This is gunfire inside my house. When he said for Al Jazeera, this bullets and shooting, it's in my house. It's in my house and he started crying and said, Allah, Allah Muhammad, Allah. This shooting is not in his house. No, they just, they were outside the house and they're celebrating that Muhammad was wrong. Only then, Arab says there was a fire fight and rebels broke into the compound and arrested the younger Gaddafi. Opposition authorities said to let family members stay in their home for the time being and the local rebel group agreed. They can't take anyone put in prison somewhere, lack them, you know. But they don't want that because the rebels they feel that Muhammad never, for not ten years or twenty more, not thirty years, he's not our neighbor here. Muhammad Arab says guards were posted outside the compound, but then in one of the more embarrassing moments for the opposition. Progodafi forces over round their positions the next day and whisked Muhammad Gaddafi and his family to safety. And he's not apparently in Algeria. Arab has no regrets, he's just glad Tripoli is under rebel control. As for the house, Arab and his fellow fighters say they don't want it and it's up to the new government to figure out what to do with it. We don't need houses, we don't need money, we need to sell our feed on. Elizabeth Garrett, VOA News Tripoli.
