It would appear a second chance wasn’t enough for Aisha Gaddafi, the 37-year-old daughter of the deceased Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Aisha, Britain’s Daily Telegraph reported, was accorded a home in Algeria after her husband, a general in Gaddafi’s army, was killed in Libya’s civil war.
There she lived with other members of her family, only to be kicked out of the country after allegedly vandalizing furniture and attacking guards.
“She ended up blaming Algeria for many of her problems, and also began starting fires in the house,” a government source in Algiers was quoted as saying.
Aisha Gaddafi, the report said, was forced to leave Algeria after she desecrated a portrait of the country’s president, Abdul Aziz Bouteflika.
