Valletta, Sha'ban 10, 1435, Jun 8, 2014, SPA -- About 130 migrants were rescued and taken to Malta early Sunday as boatloads of immigrants trying to reach Europe have set sail on the Mediterranean in recent days, dpa cited authorities as saying. The Armed Forces of Malta said the group of immigrants rescued from a sinking dinghy included 11 women. In a Twitter post, Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat criticized Europe for being "totally absent" and praised the Maltese Armed Forces and the Italian and US navies for their work in the rescue. --SPA 12:24 LOCAL TIME 09:24 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
