Reuters: A large convoy of Libyan armored vehicles escorted by the Nigerian military arrived in the northern Niger desert town of Agadez late on Monday, a French military source and a Niger military source told Reuters.
| Agadez is more west-central Niger, and according to Google Maps there is no main road from it to bordering Libya to the northeast. There is a road to the north from Algeria. |
The convoy contained between 200 and 250 Libyan military vehicles and included officers from Libya's southern army battalions, and likely crossed from Libya into Algeria before entering Niger, the sources said on condition of anonymity.
The French military source said he had been told Muammar Gaddafi and his son Saif al-Islam might be considering joining the convoy en route to bordering Burkina Faso, which has offered Gaddafi asylum.
| Burkina Faso is southwest of Agadez, and one would have to drive the convoy through the entire populated part of Niger to get there. |
