Rebels Inside Muammar Muhammad Al-Gaddafi Villas, Libya

Marriages and children
Gaddafi's second wife is Safia Farkash, née el-Brasai, a former nurse from Al Bayda with Hungarian origins. He met her in 1969, following the revolt, when he was hospitalized with appendicitis. Gaddafi had eight biological children, seven of them sons.
Muhammad al-Gaddafi, his eldest son, was the only child born to Gaddafi's first wife, and ran the Libyan Olympic Committee. On August 21, 2011, during what appears to be the endgame of the 2011 Libyan civil war, rebel forces of National Transitional Council claimed to have accepted Muhammad's surrender as they overtook into Tripoli. This was later confirmed when he gave a phone interview to Al Jazeera, saying that he surrendered to the rebels and has been treated well. However, Muhammed escaped with the aid of remaining loyalist forces the next day.
