Libya conflict: Gaddafi general 'flees to Niger'

A senior general in Libyan ex-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces has fled to Niger, according to local sources.

Officials in the Niger town of Agadez named the commander as General Ali Kana, a Tuareg in charge of Col Gaddafi's southern troops.
He arrived in Niger apparently in a convoy of vehicles with another senior general and several top officials.
Meanwhile, Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Col Gaddafi, his son Saif al-Islam and his spy chief.
