ROME: Dozens of migrants were missing after an overloaded fishing boat sank off the coast of Libya on Friday, the latest tragic accident in the Mediterranean this week, Italian rescuers said.

Italian coastguards sent in rescue ships after a call for help that spoke of 350 people in the water, while the Italian navy said it had saved 130 people and was searching for others.  – AFP
