Libya''s Coast Guard Intercepts 64 Europe-Bound Migrants

[Breitbart] Libya's coasties intercepted dozens of Europe-bound ~~migrants~~ colonists on a boat and returned them to shore, authorities said Saturday, a few days after a shipwreck off the North African country left nearly two dozen dead or missing.

The boat was carrying 64 ~~migrants~~ colonists and was intercepted Friday off the northwestern town of Sirte, according to the town's coasties unit. It posted images on Facebook showing dozens of ~~migrants~~ colonists, including at least one woman and a child, upon their return. The coasties also set the migrant boat on fire, a procedure aimed at preventing its reuse by traffickers.

On Wednesday, a boat carrying 32 ~~migrants~~ colonists from Egypt and Syria capsized off Libya's eastern town of Tobruk, leaving 22 missing and presumed dead. The Libyan coasties said it rescued nine people and recovered one body.
