CAIRO (AP) — At least 27 suspected migrants from sub-Saharan Africa have died in recent days in the country's western desert near the border with Tunisia, Libyan authorities said. In a statement posted on Facebook, Libya's Interior Ministry said late Tuesday the bodies were discovered recently near the border and that a forensic team had been deployed to the area. In the same post, the ministry published pictures of African migrants receiving treatment from Libyan medical teams. Mohamed Hamouda, a spokesperson for the Libyan government, on Wednesday confirmed the discovery of the bodies to The Associated Press, but declined to provide any further details.
