Does Algeria’s Government Know Gadhafi’s Whereabouts?

The Takeaway

As rebels in Libya continued their search for Col. Moammar Gadhafi yesterday, Algerian officials announced  that Gadhafi’s wife and three sons had crossed the border from Libya, and are now hiding out there. More countries are continuing to recognize the new Libyan government –  except for Algeria, which remains the only North African neighbor not to address Libya as such. William Zartman, professor emeritus at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, and Mark Doyle  of the BBC discuss where Gadhafi could be, and the implications of Algeria’s decision.
