Over 80 migrants rescued off Malta

A PREGNANT woman and a baby were among a group of 82 African migrants rescued from a dinghy off the coast of Malta.

The migrants were spotted some 110km south of the Mediterranean island after they had sent out an SOS via satellite phone. Officials said they had left Libyan shores.

The group, made up of 82 Somalis, including 10 women, were taken into custody upon their arrival in Malta. Their condition is unknown.

Three other boats with 260 people on board were intercepted by Italian coastguards early on Friday and taken to an immigration centre on the island of Lampedusa.

Several asylum-seekers are believed to be taking advantage of improved weather conditions to cross from Libya to neighbouring European Union states.
