Libya accepts more rescued haragas from Italy
[Maghrebia] Italy returned another 163 "boat people" rescued at sea to Libya on Sunday (May 10th), international press reports said. The African haragas were picked up on Saturday near the Italian island of Lampedusa. Last Thursday, three Italian navy launches ferried some 227 illegal migrants back to Tripoli. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was quoted by AFP as saying on Saturday that Italy was entitled to hand back Thursday's boat people because they were not intercepted in Italian waters.
