Army Attack On Migrant Boat Leaves 20 Dead

The boat was attacked while in a rescue at the Mediterranean Sea. 20 people have been reported dead so far after the army attack. Sea-Watch, a German charity, said its rescue ship was deployed to help the vessel by the Italian coastguard after it was spotted 14 nautical miles off the Libyan coast on Friday.

According to Independent reports, a vessel that appeared to be marked with the insignia of Libya’s national coastguard approached, with armed men boarding the migrant boat and attempting to detach its motor.

So far four bodies have been found, while a few more are presently in the hospital. The remaining 20 may have drowned according to public speculations.
