Hana Muammar Gaddafiwas the adopted daughter ofMuammar Gaddafi.She was killed during theU.S. bombing raids in 1986.[1][2]
Hana may not have died; the adoption may have been posthumous; or he may have adopted a second daughter and given her the same name after the first one died.[3]Following the taking by rebels of the family residence in theBab al-Aziziacompound in Tripoli,The New York Timesreported evidence (complete with photographs) of Hana's life after her declared death, when she became a doctor and worked in a Tripoli hospital. Her passport was reported as showing a birth date of 11 November 1985, making her six months old at the time of the US raid.[4]In August 2011, theDaily Telegraphreported on the finding of dental records relating to a Hana Gaddafi by NLC staff taking over the London embassy. This report, which also cites a 1999 spotting byChinese officials,cites an unnamed Libyan government spokesman as stating that Gaddafi had adopted a second daughter, and named her Hana in honor of the first one who had been killed in the 1986 raid.[5]
In September 2011, the claim that Hana had been killed in the 1986 bombing was further disputed when a video recorded in 1989 by Gaddafi's cameraman Mohammad Ali was obtained byThe Daily Telegraph.In the video, Muammar and other members of the Gaddafi family refer to her by her name while playingfootballat a campsite. Hana is rumoured to have fled toAlgeriawith her mother and three siblingsMohammed,HannibalandAyesha.[6]
