Libya’s coast guard has intercepted about 400 Europe-bound migrants off the Mediterranean coast.
Spokesman said a rubber boat carrying 84 passengers was stopped off the town of al-Maya, 27 kilometers (16 miles) west of Tripoli.
Two more boats, carrying 146 passengers were stopped off the coast of the southwestern town of Abu Kammash.
He said that 162 Europe-bound migrants have been intercepted last week. He said the migrants were given humanitarian and medical aid, and were taken to refugee camps in the towns of Zawiya and Tajoura.
Libyan authorities have stepped up efforts to stem the flow of migrants, with European assistance.
The illegal migrants may not like that. The human traffickers don't like it. Just a thought.
