Libya: 400 illegal immigrants 'disappear' on way to Italy
Aid agencies and coastguards are attempting to discover the whereabouts of two
boats carrying more than 400 illegal immigrants towards Italy which have
disappeared.
The two boats set off from Libya
almost two weeks ago carrying Eritreans and Somalians and have not been
since – the last news was more than a week ago via a telephone call from
both vessels to relatives in northern Europe.
Officials say the most likely destination was the island of Lampedusa, which
has been inundated with more than 18,000 refugees.
Federico Fossi, a UN spokesman, said they had received reports one of the
missing vessels may have sunk as a Libyan news channel reported the
discovery of 60 bodies in the sea.
