Saadi Gaddafi 'smuggled into Niger by team of ex-special forces from Australia and New Zealand'
Saadi Gaddafi was smuggled into Niger by a team of ex-special forces soldiers from around the world, according to a former Australian soldier who claims to be the personal bodyguard of the son of the former Libyan dictator.
Gary Peters, who is Australian but lives in Ontario, Canada, said his team of New Zealand, Australian, Russian and Iraqi ex-special forces soldiers escorted Saadi to Niger after his flight from Tripoli as it fell to rebel forces in August.

He said he himself was injured as he tried to cross the border back to Libya, but was able to make it back to Canada even though he was bleeding.

Saadi, who is facing demands for his extradition from Niger, was hoping to move to Canada or Mexico where he had investments, Mr Peters said.

"He loves Canada, that's why he keeps coming back here, every year," Mr Peters said of Saadi in an interview with the country's National Post newspaper.

"He's got investments here, he's got property here. He wants to [move to Canada], but I was warned by RCMP (the police) that if he comes here they'll arrest him straight away."
