Twenty-eight African migrants were landed in Malta this morning after their boat was intercepted some 28 miles south east of Malta yesterday evening. The boat was reported by a fisherman and tracked by the AFM until the migrants were transferred to patrol boat P51 and brought to Haywharf, the AFM maritime base.

Meanwhile, informed sources said the AFM is tracking another boat carrying migrants, although this does not appearing to be heading towards Malta.
