Gaddafi’s son enters Niger

A CONVOY carrying ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son al-Saadi, has crossed into neighbouring Niger — a spokesman for Niger’s government said yesterday.

Al-Saadi, the fugitive ruler’s 37-year-old son, entered Niger in a convoy with nine other people, said Niger Justice Minister Amadou Morou.

The vehicles are travelling south toward the outpost of Agadez, where other fleeing Libyan loyalists are believed to be.

Morou announced that “one of Gaddafi’s sons — al-Saadi Gaddafi — was intercepted in the north of Niger by a patrol of the Nigerien military”.
