Libya finds 15 migrants’ bodies

Tripoli: Libyan coastguards on Sunday found 15 bodies of sub- Saharan African migrants floating in the sea near a ripped inflatable boat, east of the capital. Last week in the same area, rescuers recovered the bodies of around 170 people after the shipwreck of another vessel carrying illegal immigrants from subSaharan Africa. “During a routine patrol we found 15 floating bodies of African migrants 15 kilometres ( nine miles) offshore,” coastguard Abdellatif Mohammed Ibrahim told AFP. “These bodies, including two women and two children, were floating near a ripped inflatable craft,” he said.
