Post] The former Rockcliffe Park residence of the Libyan ambassador in Ottawa, Canada, then Ahmed Jarrud, has been listed for sale for a week, for just $7 million. Two embassies and one private individual have already expressed interest in buying this home of former Libyan dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...Custodian of Wheelus AFB for 42 long years until he was ejected from the gene pool by his indignant citizens... 's emissaries to Canada, the realtor handling the property says. A member of the ReMax Metro City real estate agency has been reported describing the villa as, “absolutely gorgeous home and the quality of construction is excellent.” The residence was built about 10 years ago for a prominent Canadian family. It was bought in 2005 for the same now asking price of $7-million. The mansion has remained virtually empty since the February 2011 uprising in Libya against the Qadaffy regime.
