Gaddafi out?
A convoy of six armoured Mercedes that could be carrying high Libyan officials, even fugitive leader Muammar Gaddafi, has crossed from Libya into Algeria, the official Egyptian news agency reports quoting a Libyan rebel source. The report could not immediately be confirmed from Algerian or Libyan sources.The news agency, MENA, said six armoured Mercedes had on Friday morning entered Ghadames. It quoted a Libyan military council source in the town on the border with Algeria. The source was quoted as saying the column had been escorted by pro-government troops until it entered Algeria. Rebels had not been able to pursue the vehicles as they lacked munitions and equipment. "We think they (the cars) were carrying high Libyan officials, possibly Gaddafi and his sons," the source said. Gaddafi has been on the run since the rebels took the Libyan capital Tripoli this week. Posted by: tu3031 2011-08-27 |
