TRIPOLI: Libyan authorities said Sunday they had arrested 203 African migrants in the capital who were preparing to make a perilous sea crossing to Europe.
An alleged people smuggler was also detained.
An early morning raid by forces battling clandestine migration targeted a house in eastern Tripoli鈥檚 Al-Hashan district and netted several dozen people, an AFP journalist said.
Armed and masked members of the authorities in bullet-proof vests rounded up the migrants and put them on vehicles to be driven to a detention center.
Dozens more were detained in another raid on a house in the same neighborhood.
