No decision on Gadhafi's fate

Diplomats discussing the fate of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi have yet to reach a decision.

The aim is to spare Libya further bloodshed by rigging an exit for the deposed leader.

A convoy of vehicles crossed into Niger from Libya late on Monday. They were said to be carrying gold, cash and senior members of the Gadhafi inner circle. But Western officials do not believe Gadhafi or his family were present on the convoy.

They also report the former leader is refusing the rebels’ offer of escape.

Burkina Faso has said that it will not grant Gadhafi asylum.
