Rescued migrants hijack merchant ship off Libya

Migrants disembark from the vessel El Hiblu 1 at the Boilers Wharf of Senglea, Malta on March 28, 2019. The Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) stormed a merchant vessel taken over by rescued migrants off Libya's coast on Thursday. The vessel, El Hiblu 1, en route from Turkey to Libya was required to rescue 108 stranded migrants that were allegedly transported to Europe. However, the rescued migrants overpowered the ship crew some six miles off the Libyan coast and demanded that the captain change course for Malta. (Xinhua/Roberto Runza)
