A convoy of six armored Mercedes cars have crossed from Libya into Algeria, possibly carrying Muammar Gaddafi and his sons, Arab news agencies reported on Saturday.

A convoy of six armored Mercedes cars have crossed from Libya into Algeria, possibly carrying Muammar Gaddafi and his sons, Arab news agencies reported on Saturday.

Egypt's MENA quoted a rebel source as saying that senior Libyan officials or Muammar Qaddafi himself and his sons may have fled the country.

"It is believed that these vehicles were carrying senior Libyan officials, and possibly Gaddafi and his sons," the source said, adding that the rebels were unable to chase and stop the convoy.

Algerian officials were not immediately available for comment.

The rebels now control over 95% of the oil-rich country's territory. In February, they formed a National Transitional Council led by former Justice Minister Mustafa Abdul Jalil.

The NTC has been recognized by at least 45 countries.
