Libya: Has Gaddafi fled to Algeria?

Egyptian state news agency MENA quoted a rebel source as claiming that a motorcade of armored cars accompanied by loyalist forces had been seen crossing into Algeria. It is believed that the six vehicles that entered the Algerian town of Ghadames could have been carrying officials from the former regime - or even Gaddafi himself.

Earlier Libyan rebel forces captured a border post to Tunisia thought to be a possible escape route for fugitive leader Moammar Gaddafi late on Friday. A Tunisian official said that pro-Gadhafi loyalists had fled as more than 100 rebels arrived and raised their flag over the frontier post.
