親卡扎菲軍車隊駛向尼日爾首都大綱

A convoy of at least 200 vehicles carrying forces loyal to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi has crossed into neighboring Niger, as anti-Gadhafi fighters continue to mass outside one of the ousted leader's last strongholds.

reports from Niger Tuesday said the military vehicles were heading towards the capital, Niamey, after moving into Niger late Monday. The capital is in the country's southwestern corner near Burkina Faso, where officials offered Gadhafi asylum about two weeks ago.

The head of Gadhafi's security brigades, Mansour Dhao, and several other Libyans crossed into Niger hours ahead of the convoy.

Gadhafi's whereabouts are still unknown. It is not clear whether any of his relatives or officials from his government are among those who entered Niger, or whether they might join the convoy later.

The French news agency, AFP, reported Tuesday that Niger's foreign minister has denied reports Gadhafi is in the convoy.一個由至少200輛汽車組成的運送親卡扎菲部隊的車隊穿過邊界駛入利比亞鄰國尼日爾境內。與此同時，反卡扎菲的部隊繼續在卡扎菲最後幾個據點之一班尼瓦里城外集結。

星期二來自尼日爾的報導說，車隊星期一晚進入尼日爾後朝首都尼亞美方向行駛。尼亞美位於尼日爾西南端，靠近布基納法索。兩星期前，布基納法索官員曾表示原意爲卡扎菲提供庇護。

卡扎菲安全衛隊指揮官達奧和其他幾名利比亞人先於車隊幾個小時進入尼日爾。美聯社援引一名海關官員的話報導說，達奧星期二早晨抵達尼日爾首都尼亞美。

卡扎菲的下落目前仍然不明，也不清楚他的家人和官員是否已經隨車隊進入尼日爾，或是在稍後加入車隊行列。

新聞通訊社星期二報導說，尼日爾外交部長對卡扎菲隨車隊進入尼日爾的報導予以否認。
