Eight members of Muammar Gaddafi' s family, probably including his daughter Aisha, would have left Algeria and reached Cairo, the capital of Egypt, Algeria's Arabic- language daily El Khabar reported Monday.
Quoting a well-informed source, the report said the eight family members of Gaddafi left Algeria for Cairo Saturday via Houari Boumediene International Airport in Algiers.
The source, however, didn't provide the names, only saying Aisha Gaddafi might be among them, the report said.
Aisha embarrassed Algerian authorities when she issued a telephone message blasting Libya's ruling National Transitional Council as traitors.
The statement, aired on Syria-based Al-Rai satellite channel, drew sharp criticism from Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Mdeleci, who called Aisha's comment "unacceptable" and pledged to take measures to prevent its recurrence.
Algeria permitted members of Gaddafi's family to enter the country on Aug. 29. Aisha gave birth to a baby girl in an Algerian border town a few days later.
