(Newser) – There’s still no word on where Moammar Gadhafi is hiding, but now we know where his family is. The Algerian foreign ministry today revealed that Gadhafi’s wife, daughter, and two of his sons have entered the country, along with some of his grandchildren, CBS News reports. The government wouldn't say if the deposed Libyan leader was with them.

An aide to the Transitional National Council said that if the report is true “we will demand that Algerian authorities hand them over to Libya to be tried before Libyan courts.” Rebels said they weren’t surprised by the news, since they have long accused Algeria of aiding Gadhafi.

Hmmm, Moammar's daughter is not a bad looking babe. Maybe I'll get my folks to get together with her folks, see if we can't make arrangements to go out for drinks.

Smart move by MG.  We have to handle Algeria with kid gloves as they are actively fighting Al Qaeda's North Africa branch.
