> Rescue efforts continued Saturday in northwestern Algeria for a 10-year-old boy who had been trapped in a well for four days. Civil defense officials said hopes of finding him alive were fading. Ayoub Hadaf fell into the 40-centimeter-wide well in Ghassoul, El Bayadh province, while going to help his brother tend sheep.
