A large convoy of Libyan armoured vehicles has crossed into Niger, according to the Reuters news agency.

French and Niger military sources told the agency that the convoy, escorted by the Niger army, arrived in the northern desert town of Agadez on Monday.

The convoy contained between 200 and 250 military vehicles and included officers from Libya's southern army battalions, and likely crossed from Libya into Algeria before entering Niger, the sources said.

The Niger military source said many more Libyans, including pro-Gaddafi Tuareg fighters, had also crossed the border into the country seeking refuge.

Hmm na wah o. Hopefully these rebels know what they are doing. They don't need a guerrilla group on their border. They should diplomatically get those people to surrender.

my fear is why did Nato allow 250 armored cars retreat into Niger, Lets just watch how those cars will soon filter into northern nigeria on hit and run raid in reprisal for Nigerias hasty recognition of the NTC

I wonder.

I hope the Nigerian government understands the implication of having 250 armored Vehicles filled with the enemies of people they supported in our border neighbour country, Niger.

If Ghaddafi wants to destabilize Nigeria and revenge the "betrayal" or use his army as a bargaining chip, Niger is a good spot for him. Hmm
