| [LIBYAREVIEW] On Friday, Pak’s ARY News reported that over 2,000 Paks who were attempting to move to Italia illegally, have been detained in Libyan jails. Ihsan Ullah whose brother is in a Libyan jail, told ARY News that a "huge number of Pak nationals have tried to move to Italia illegally recently." He said that his brother Aman Ullah has been arrested for more than a month. The agent named Usman from Hafizabad City has also fled Pakistain. Last week, an Italia-bound fishing trawler reportedly carrying at least 800 people — including hundreds of Paks — capsized off Greece. Only 104 people are known to have survived, and the chance of finding more survivors was seen as virtually nil. Pak Interior Minister, Rana Sanaullah assured that the government "would take strict action against the Greece boat tragedy, and an investigation report would be submitted within a week by duly fixing responsibility on those involved in negligence." He informed the National Assembly that "amendments had been proposed in certain laws to give exemplary punishment to the elements involved in the heinous crime of human smuggling, and put the lives of abroad job seekers at risk." He said that a total of 281 Pak families had contacted the government to seek help, according to Rooters. |

| #1 The reunification of Libya will never be resolved until the criminal element in western Libya is eliminated. It is now the tail that wags the dog in both the narcotics trade and the human smuggling rackets. |
