Italian President Sergio Mattarella said Monday that at least 400 migrants from Egypt, Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan and Libya who were trying to reach Italy drowned in the Mediterranean after their inflatable boats capsized near the Egyptian coast. Mattarrella said the disaster happened in the early hours of the morning when the Italian coast guard was not engaged in any operations.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
