Nearly 100 people are missing a day after a boat carrying illegal migrants sank off the Libyan coast, a Libyan coastguard official said. According to dpa, the rubber boat tore apart and sank on Wednesday shortly after it left Libya across the Mediterranean Sea en route to Italy, the official added on condition of anonymity. Twenty-nine people were rescued by the Libyan coastguard, he said, in what is the latest in a series of shipwreck tragedies on the Mediterranean.
