Valletta, Ramadan 27, 1436, Jul 14, 2015, SPA -- As many as 100 bodies, presumably of sub-Saharan boat migrants, have washed up near the Libyan city of Tajoura, a Malta-based website on migration issues reported Tuesday. The bodies are believed to be victims of a shipwreck off the western coastal town, located some 10 kilometres east of Tripoli, the Migrant Report website said, quoting the Libyan capital's migration department spokesman. Tajoura is known as a departure spot for Europe-bound boat migrants. Women and children were said to be among the dead, but authorities could not yet confirm the exact number of bodies found or their nationalities, dpa reported. -- SPA 16:52 LOCAL TIME 13:52 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
