Gadhafi’s Wife and Children Flee to Algeria - Truthdig: Moammar Gadhafi’s wife, two sons, a daughter, and a number of grandchildren escaped Libyan rebels and entered Algeria on Monday, according to the Algerian Foreign Ministry. His location, as well as the whereabouts of his other sons, remain unknown.
Libyan rebels took clear steps toward installing themselves as the country’s official government this week, signing an energy contract with Italy’s biggest oil corporation and allowing France and Britain, the rebels’ leading NATO allies, to begin re-establishing their embassies in Tripoli. East of the city, fighters advanced toward Gadhafi’s hometown of Surt, a place considered to be his last stronghold of support. Rebels hoped to negotiate the town’s surrender.
