Migrants land in Benghisa

Another 28 illegal immigrants arrived in Malta at about 4.30 a.m. yesterday, the police said.

The immigrants including three women landed in a boat in Benghisa close to Birzebbuga.

Arrangements are in hand for the repatriation of most of the 266 immigrants who were brought ashore on Tuesday night.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thanked the Egyptian Ambassador to Malta for his cooperation in this and other instances where Egyptians were involved so that these would be repatriated without delay.

It was hoped that all the Egyptians who were on that boat, more than 100, would be sent back over the weekend, he said.

The ministry is in contact with the Moroccan embassy in Rome to repatriate the Moroccans who were on the same boat, and who also number over 100.
