ALGIERS - A report saying that Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi may have fled his country and entered neighboring Algeria by land cannot be confirmed by Algerian authorities on Saturday.
An official from the Foreign Ministry hung up Xinhua's call after hearing the confirmation question. Xinhua's calls to the president office and information ministry were not answered.
Earlier in the day, the Egyptian news agency MENA reported that a convoy of six armored cars that could be carrying high-profile Libyan officials, even Gadhafi himself, crossed from Libya into Algeria on Friday, citing a source from the Libyan rebels.
The report could not be confirmed from the Libyan side neither.
The report said the convoy was escorted by pro-Gadhafi forces.
