129 Africa Migrants Mugged, Stranded at Sea off Libya
2017-05-07
[An Nahar] Gunmen mugged 129 migrants colonists on a rubber dinghy headed for Europe and also stole the craft's motor, abandoning them off the Libyan coast, Libya's navy said Saturday.

Navy front man General Ayoub Qassem said the gunnies in a speedboat chased the dinghy on Friday, boarded around five nautical miles off the Libyan town of Zuwara and stole the migrants colonists' possessions.

The migrants colonists from sub-Saharan Africa, including 27 women and two children, were stranded at sea for several hours before being rescued by Libyan coastguard alerted by a local fisherman, he told AFP.
