A large convoy of Libyan soldiers loyal to ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi crossed the desert border into Niger and rolled into the frontier town of Agadez late Sept. 5, AP reported, citing a resident who is the owner of a local newspaper. The convoy consisted of more than a dozen pickup trucks carrying well-armed Libyan troops, said Abdoulaye Harouna, the owner of the Agadez Info newspaper. Harouna said Tuareg rebel leader Rissa ag Boula was at the head of the convoy and that the pro-Gadhafi soldiers accompanying Boula were coming from the direction of Arlit.
