Libyan convoys pass through Niger

Two Libyan convoys have passed through Niger this week, officials there said Tuesday - fueling renewed speculation about the whereabouts of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

One convoy was on its way Tuesday to Niger's capital, Niamey, said a Nigerien military captain.

Another convoy reached Niamey a day earlier, a Nigerien Interior Ministry official said. That convoy included six high-ranking Libyan officials close to Gadhafi, including Gen. Mansour Daw, the source said. Daw is said to be the head of the Revolutionary Guard and is responsible for the security of Gadhafi and his family.

The sources did not want to be identified because neither is authorized to speak to the media.

Abdallah Kenshil, chief negotiator for Libya's National Transitional Council, said Tuesday a convoy left the pro-Gadhafi stronghold of Bani Walid three days ago.

"We believe that Saif al-Islam Gadhafi was part of that convoy," Kenshil said, referring to a Gadhafi son who vehemently defended his father's regime.

NATO said Tuesday that while it "continuously receives reports" about weapons, vehicles and even convoys of vehicles moving throughout Libya, "we do not discuss the intelligence and surveillance information we collect."

"To be clear, our mission is to protect the civilian population in Libya, not to track and target thousands of fleeing former regime leaders, mercenaries, military commanders and internally displaced people," a NATO official said in an e-mailed statement.

    I see that the Tea Party Brigade has taken over this web page too as they troll away and are now using their favorite lingo in some of the posts above. What irritates me is to have two of my posts blocked while these people( or possibly one person) post(s) their meaningless and profane comments here!!!

    Well,I'd have to say that it's a given that Nigeria is not going to hold any of thm at the border and is gonna let them all cross over to their country.Hell thats where gaddafi himslef has been I'd say when the rebels invaded tripoli.I'd say he had already been hanging out in Nigeria by the time that took place.I'd also have to say that whatever gold he had stashed he took with him.As for the money in the banks however is a totalt diferent story and if not already needs to be put on hold and not allowing him to be bale to get his hands on any of it
