© Provided by WIONUnited Nations' Libya mission on Sunday (October 9) condemned the "heinous killing" of 15 migrants near Meditarranean city of Sabratha. "While the exact circumstances remain to be determined, the killings reportedly resulted from clashes between rival traffickers," the UN mission UNSMIL said in a statement. Libya was a key route for clandestine migration even before the 2011 uprising that overthrew dictator Moamer Kadhafi. The migration via sea from Libya is considered to be the world's deadliest migration route. Migrants often face horrific treatment at the hands of smuggling gangs.
