Rumor
Colonel Gaddafi and his sons may have entered the country of Algeria on Friday in a convoy of cars. The Foreign Ministry says Algeria has been the victim of a stream of false information for months.
The official Egyptian news agency Mena quoted a rebel source as saying that Gaddafi may have been in a convoy of armour-plated Mercedes cars seen crossing the border to Ghadames.
Fact
A suicide attack on an Algerian army barracks left many wondering how militants had managed to strike in one of the country's most secure locations and stirred dark memories of past conflict.
Two suicide bombers hit the barracks housing a prestigious military school in the coastal town of Cherchell west of Algiers on Friday, killing 16 soldiers and two civilians.
More than 20 people were injured, Algeria's state APS agency quoted the defence ministry as saying.

At least 18 people were killed by a car bomb that ripped through the United Nations' building in the Nigerian capital Abuja on Friday -- a rare attack on an international institution in a country wracked by local conflicts.
