The bodies of at least 28 migrants, including a baby and two women, have washed up on Libya's western coast after their boat sunk, a security official said Sunday. "Libyan Red Crescent teams recovered 28 bodies of dead migrants and found three survivors at two different sites on the beaches of Al-Alous," the source revealed. The Libyan Red Crescent said the bodies were found late on Saturday in two separate locations in the coastal town of Khoms, some 90 kilometres from Tripoli. The Interior Ministry believes the bodies recovered belonged to a group of 60 people supposedly missing at sea. The European Union has cooperated closely with the Libyan Coast Guard to cut numbers of migrants arriving on European shores.
