Gaddafi’s wife and children flee to Algeria

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.

Gaddafi’s whereabouts were still unknown and rebels are worried that if he remains in Libya, it will stoke more violence.

In Washington, the Obama administration said it has no indication Gaddafi has left the country.
