TRIPOLI, Aug 28 (Reuters) -
Libya has recovered 82
bodies washed ashore
after a
boat packed with migrants sank near the western town of Zuwara, a Red Crescent
official said on Friday. "About 100 people are still missing," said Ibrahim al-Attoushi, the Red Crescent official, adding that about 198 migrants had been rescued. The
boat sank on Thursday
after leaving Zuwara, a major launch pad for smugglers shipping migrants from sub-Saharan Africa or Syria to Italy. (Reporting by Ahmed Elumami; Writing by Ulf Laessing; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
