Aisha Gaddafi gives birth

Aisha Gaddafi, Muammar Gaddafi's daughter, has given birth to a baby girl in Algeria, the Algerian authorities said today.

Aisha Gaddafi crossed into Algeria yesterday along with her mother Safiya and brothers Mohammed and Hannibal.

The Libyan National Transition Council said it would seek their extradition.

The whereabouts of Muammar Gaddafi and his other sons remains unknown, although there are claims that one of them, Khamis, has been killed.

Meanwhile, the Libyan rebels said today that they have given Gaddafi loyalists in Sirte and some other town up to Saturday to lay down their arms or face all-out attack.
