The dictator claimed that his adopted baby girl Hana, then three years old, was killed in a U.S. bombing raid on Tripoli in 1986.

But now files uncovered this week at the Libyan embassy in Knightsbridge, show a London dentist was flown to the country in 2008 to treat a patient called ‘Hana Gaddafi’.

Hana’s death has never been verified and many Libyans believe she survived the attack and grew up in London as a teenager before moving to Tripoli where it is claimed she still lives.
