| 2011-09-06 |
| [Daily Nation (Kenya)] Members of runaway Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffy's ...a reminder that a single man with an idea can screw up an entire nation... entourage, including his internal security chief Mansour Daw, have crossed the border into Niger, a Tuareg source told AFP. The identity of the other individuals, believed to number around ten, who arrived in the northern Niger city of Agadez escorted by a top Niger Tuareg rebel leader, was not immediately known. The group were led into Niger by Agaly Alambo, a historical leader in Niger's Tuareg rebellion with very close ties to Qadaffy. "In any case, these people who came with Agaly are neither Qadaffy's sons nor his close relatives," the Tuareg source told AFP condition of anonymity, adding that all had now reached the capital Niamey. Agaly Alambo, head of the Niger Movement for Justice, the country's main Tuareg rebel group since 2007, had been living in Libya since Qadaffy brokered an end to his struggle against Niamey in 2009. Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed this guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... negotiations for the surrender of Qadaffy's forces in the Libyan town of Bani Walid have failed and will not resume, an official said, opening the way for a military attack. "I am leaving the military commander to resolve the problem," said Abdullah Kenshil, the chief negotiator for Libya's new government, the National Transitional Council (NTC). The town southeast of Tripoli is one of the last strongholds of pro-Qadaffy fighters where at least one of the ousted despot's sons is reported to be hiding. |
