Libyan army convoys flee across Sahara carrying cash and gold

The hunt for Muammar Gaddafi has widened across Africa after Libyan army convoys crossed hundreds of miles of desert into neighbouring Niger, rumoured to be bound for Burkina Faso.

Tantalising clues of a possible escape route for Gaddafi filled the void created by the disappearance of the ousted leader whose face was ubiquitous in Libya for more than 40 years.

Reports of multiple convoys fleeing to Niger with looted gold and cash also suggested that the will of regime loyalists was failing and their last pockets of resistance in Libya could be near collapse.

Details of the size of the convoys, and who was in them, were scarce as they made their way across the vast swath of Sahara with more than 1,000 miles between any populated areas on the two sides of the border.

But military sources from France and Niger told Reuters that a convoy of between 200 and 250 vehicles from Libya was escorted to the northern city of Agadez by the Nigerien army. Amid speculation about a possible South African-brokered deal to allow Gaddafi to go free, there were rumours he might join the convoy en route to neighbouring Burkina Faso, which has offered him asylum.

    • RE: Ten reasons why the U.S. war in Libya is a CIA operation

      I’ll give you one good reason why the war in Libya is an international (stock market operation) – the gold currency – Libya’s dinar.

      A CIA operation – is a NAZI terrorist organization – its founder (1 of 3) is german spy George H Scherf who is the 41st president of the US.

      (Hint: where are any photos of Prescott Bush and George HW as a child?)

      • Libya is “an international BANKING operation carried out by its gangstas, The CIA.

  2. Realistically…we (NATO Nations) have the majority of Libyan gold and assets. We have the best technology in the sky to track anything and in the Sahara an asset recovery from a rogue convoy would be a piece of cake. Nearly everything in the media is a spin…whatever they say, you know it’s not that. The biggest criminals have no laws and some have major military at their disposal. Generally it’s just the disposable Sheeple that are prosecuted. If a European country or the US wrongfully seizes assets….who goes after them? Seems Libyan assets should belong to the PEOPLE of Libya, not the current military puppet. The biggest bullies have the gold, that’s how it rolls.

  3. In olden days sticking one’s feet in a campfire was sometimes sufficient to allow the knowing party to reveal location of said gold. Today we have reversible adjustable speed power drills for just such purposes. I rebuke gold acquistions in favor of Argent. Don’t ask me why. That’s just how I roll.
