“Call Me Bwana” Gaddafi Ready to Flee South?
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
Convoys, crossing a thousand miles of sand, are entering the nation of Niger, said by US counter-terrorism officials to be the staging ground for Al Qaeda in Africa. This was also where Gaddafi’s mercenary army was recruited from by Israeli contractors as negotiated by his son, Saif, during his March visit to Tel Aviv.
Now Gaddafi’s Security Chief, and other top officials, thought to have been in Sirte, proclaimed by Gaddafi as “Capitol of New Libya” have fled the country. From the Associated Press;
But as the first group of a dozen vehicles pulled into Niger’s capital Niamey on Tuesday, a customs official confirmed that it included Mansour Dao, Khadafy’s security chief and a key member of his inner circle, as well as around 12 other Khadafy regime officials. The official, Harouna Ide, told The Associated Press that other Libyan convoys had passed through Agadez, a town about halfway between Niger’s border with Libya and its capital in the far southwest.
Nigerian authorities investigating last week’s fatal bombing of the U.N. headquarters arrested two members of Islamist sect Boko Haram a week before the attack and said they suspect a third member with an al Qaeda connection led the plot. “Investigation has revealed that one Mamman Nur, a notorious Boko Haram element with al Qaeda links who returned recently from Somalia, working in concert with the two suspects, masterminded the attack on the United Nations building in Abuja,” the Department of State Services said in a statement on Wednesday.
