INTERNATIONAL. A large military convoy from Libya arrived in the northern Niger city of Agadez late Monday, a military source told AFP.

"I saw an exceptionally large and rare convoy of several dozen vehicles enter Agadez from Arlit... and go towards Niamey," the source said, amid speculation that toppled leader Moammer Gadhafi may be in it.

"There are persistent rumours that Gadhafi or one of his sons are travelling in the convoy," the source said.

A journalist from a private radio station in Agadez said he saw "a convoy of several dozen vehicles crossing the city and heading towards Niamey", the Niger capital.

The journalist said several people reported seeing in the convoy Rhissa Ag Boula, a figurehead Tuareg rebel in Niger who is close to Gadhafi.

Another Nigerien government source earlier said prominent regime officials had fled across the border on Sunday. They included Gadhafi's internal security chief Mansour Daw, who was earlier reported to be in the loyalist stronghold Bani Walid with at least two of the fallen strongman's sons.
