Hannibal And Aline Gaddafi’s Nanny Burned By Scalding Water As Punishment

Video
» 33 comments

Shweyga Mullah, a former nanny working for the family of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, alleges that Aline Gaddafi — the wife of Muammar’s son Hannibal Gaddafi — poured boiling water on her after Mullah refused to discipline and beat one of their children for misbehaving.

Hannibal and Aline escaped to Algeria, leaving an injured Mullah alone in their abandoned home. CNN journalists who discovered Mullah sitting alone in the empty building were told about the horrific treatment she endured while with the Gaddafi family:

“She took me to a bathroom. She tied my hands behind my back, and tied my feet,” Mullah said at a Tripoli hospital where she was being treated after a guard secretly brought her in.

“She taped my mouth, and she started pouring the boiling water on my head like this,” she said as she imitated a vessel being poured on her head. She was in terrible pain, although the burns had been inflicted three months ago. Her scalp and face were a mosaic of injuries that rendered her skin a grotesque patchwork.

She actually had boiling water poured on her twice, she said — once about six months ago and once about three months ago. Her chest, torso and legs are all mottled with scars — some old, some still red and weeping. After both times, Hannibal Gadhafi and his family interfered with medical treatment, so she did not receive much, she said.

Mullah also recounts that she was never given her due payment for her services as a nanny. She is now in Malta’s Mater Dei Hospital, where she is being treated for her injuries by skin graft specialists. Mullah, who originally comes from Ethiopa, hopes to return home for recovery despite the Maltese government’s offer of further medical treatment, asylum and even an education. Malta’s Prime Minister, obviously very moved by Mullah’s ordeal, says she offers additional visual proof of the terror inflicted by Gaddafi and his family on those in Libya.

    My God, that is so awful.

    Unbelievable.

  • TruDat

    Sure is awful.  Just as the thousands upon thousands of Kurdish men, women and children who were gased by Sadaam Hussein.  But the libs think taking Hussein out was a war crime by Bush/Cheney.

    Way to make a story about a woman’s suffering about your political BS.

    Obviously, the sooner Gaddafi and his repugnant family are wiped out, the better.  Let’s hope they all die screaming.

    Same goes for Bashar Assad, his wife and their cronies.

    It is just awful that you can’t make a sane comment without bringing libs into it.

    We see these things that happen in other countries and scream about it.  Do you know how often horrible things like this happen here in the good ole USA? Of course we would rather spend our time complaining on the blogs.  Get out and volunteer a little and you will become aware of these things here.

    YES unbelieveable!

    And if I choose not to, what do you plan to do about it, hit me with your purse you candy-ass?

    Don’t you like having your hypocirisy pointed out?

    When has the wife of a President ever done anything even remotely close to that?

    Celebrate Diversity!

    “Most Muslims are really swell and make good neighbors…”

    “Honor killing, is just a cultural thing.”

    “Female circumcision!”  (Need I say more?)

    “Burkas” and “chadors”  (Hmm, maybe if they let Muslim men, chase Muslim women, then Muslim men would’t be so inclined to seek out those fictitious virgins, waiting for them in “Paradise?”)  Ouch!

    I have had this same debate with otherwise, reasonable people, yet, those “people” support and defend Islam?  The Islamic culture is, currently, living in the 14th century and behaving like it.  Islam is 600 years younger than Christianity and Western Culture.  Why are we so surprised when a Muslim woman is stoned to death, in 2011?

    Yes, Christianity has perpetrated offenses on humanity.  But the difference that 600 years makes, is like living with Hun Barbarians next door!  The incompatibility is beyond reconciliation… Why do we tolerate it?  Either Islam grows up and comes of age, or we secure the culture within a tight fence, until the culture can learn to play nice!

    But lied about the reasons.  Whether or not they are war criminals, they are certainly lying sacks of shit.

    How is that different from the Cheney approach???

  • Jason

    Who lied about it?

    And yes, if they DID LIE about it, instead of being mistaken about it, they would be war criminals, and YOUR party should bring them up on charges.

    My guess is they would get to it if they weren’t busy raiding the offices of solyndra, ala Sandy Burger, to get rid of some evidence.

  • Jason

    It wasn’t really political other than the fact that he called you liberals out for wanting Saddam and his evil kids to still be alive and thriving with the power to kill millions of his own people. Sorry that your libtard hypocrisy is a swift kick in the ass, but we’re not going to stop calling you motherfucker’s out.

  • Jason

    Yet, here you are, complaining on the blogs. Just as you are every other day.

    Also, really Alex? You liked that comment? 

  • Jason

    I think Hillary was reported to have thrown a bunch of the White House China after she found out her redneck husband was using cigars to diddle the help.

    Not sure she actually burned anyone though.

    Also, can you imagine what would happen if you stepped between the First Wookie and her box of Ding-Dong’s? You’d be lucky to catch some scolding hot water across the wig.

    First off, how is this ‘hypocrisy’?  Iraq not even relevant.

    And second, if you want to look like you have a soul you should stop being so narcissistic and obsessive with your petty political hatred.

    Yes, I really did. I read BlueBlogger’s comment as “Hey, there are vulnerable people abused and mistreated here in the U.S. too. It’d be a good idea to educate ourselves about this and maybe see what we can do to help.”

    I live in a small town in Michigan.  In the past 20 or so years we’ve had a large influx of Pakistani immigrants who happen to be Muslim.  These families have bought heavily into local motels and service stations and run them well.  At any rate, after a marrital dispute in one of these families a women was burned alive, while her two children looked on.

    The husband claimed that she doused herself with lighter fluid and used a lighter to ignite it.  The children backed their fathers story.  The victim was known to be unhappy in her marriage and had spoken of getting a divorce.  Definitely, a taboo within her culture.  Officially. it was deemed a suicide and eventually the children (who were under 10) were returned to their father  As a community we all wondered.

    It’s imperative we find a way to make it clear to the Muslim community that we have our own laws here and that some of the old ways are going to have to suffer a quick death if they wish to enjoy life here.  I think most of us have no problem with people having religious freedom.  However, American law must take precedence when a life is threatened or mutilation of a child (female circumcism) is involved.

    Unfortunately, incidents like this don’t seem like such a surprise (even here) nowadays.

    Why do
    so many people with too much money and power do things like this? Just the
    other day, a male Billionaire in Florida shot his wife in the face and killed
    her, then he called 911, his own words were I just shot my wife in the face.
    Then after going to jail, he laughs and said she was going to commit suicide
    and he was trying to take the gun form her. Still he was joking, laughing and
    acting nuts upon being put in jail. He was so dumb; he didn’t have enough sense
    to pretend he was sad. That is belligerences from too much power. I guess power
    really does corrupt.

    MEZZO,

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply.  I have read and re-read your comment and I really have nothing much to add…  American idealism and largesse seems to be threatened and mocked, not just by Islam, but, other Nation’s and Culture’s as well.  

    Whether by way of a revelation or slow change, some American’s feel as if they have become patsies, even by their own Government.  We are are tired of being such and have our own problems to consider?  America’s are are, traditionally, a very giving people.  However, we need to demonstrate some self preservation skills, don’t you agree?

    Thanks,  Purveyor

    You cry about this, but saddam gassing his own people isn’t enough to warrant taking him out of power.. there lies your double standard.

    It would be a double standard if I has not upset with Saddam’s Kurdish genocide, but I was.  It would also be a double standard if I supported our involvement in Libya, which I did not.  So, considering that I was upset with both tragedies but did not support military involvement in either case, I cannot see where this ‘double standard’ lies.
