Fallen Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was not in a convoy of vehicles that has crossed the border from Libya into Niger, pan-Arab Al-Arabiya television reported on Tuesday.

Libya's rebels said loyalists of Gaddafi were in a convoy of vehicles crossed into Niger late on Monday.

The National Transitional Council (NTC) said the convoy was carrying money taken from a branch of the Central Bank of Libya in Gaddafi's birthplace of Sirte, a city that has still out of the rebels' control.
