TRIPOLI - Head of the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) Mostafa Abdel Jalil on Saturday vowed fair trials for those worked with fallen leader Muammar Gadhafi.
Jalil meanwhile said at a press conference the rebels are yet to receive any hard information on the whereabouts of Gadhafi and his sons.
However, Egypt's official news agency MENA reported earlier on Saturday that a total of six vehicles which might be carrying Gadhafi or other key figures of the toppled Libyan regime had crossed the Libyan-Algerian border Friday.
An Algerian government official told Xinhua by telephone that the report has yet to be confirmed by the authorities.
Libyan military sources were quoted by MENA as saying that six armored Mercedes bullet-proof cars entered Algeria's border town of Ghadames from Libya, without any pursuit from the rebels as the vehicles were well equipped.
The sources pointed out that those vehicles may have important Libyan officials on board, including Gadhafi and his sons. They added that the convoy was escorted by pro-government Libyan troops until it crossed the border.
