MUAMMAR GADDAFI’S wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighbouring Algeria yesterday, firm evidence that the longtime leader has lost his grip on the country.

Members of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s family have entered Algeria, reports say.

Libyan rebels have freed more than 10,000 people from Muammar Gaddafi’s prisons since entering Tripoli last week, according to a military spokesman.

Libyans hunting Muammar Gaddafi have offered a $2m (€1.3m) bounty on the fallen dictator’s head and amnesty for anyone who kills or captures him as rebels battled to clear the last pockets of resistance from the capital Tripoli.

LIBYA’S new masters offered a £1 million bounty for the fugitive Muammar Gaddafi yesterday, after he urged his men to carry on a battle that kept the capital in a state of fear.

EVEN after rebels stormed into the capital and overwhelmed his residence, Muammar Gaddafi had plenty of places to hide.

Scattered battles flared across Tripoli today with pro-regime snipers cutting off the airport road while others launched repeated attacks on Muammar’s Gaddafi’s captured private compound.

THE western Libyan city of Misrata came under heavy bombardment yesterday by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, a rebel spokesman said, a day after rebels celebrated a government pullback.
