At least 28 migrants dead off Libya: coastguard

Twenty-eight Europe-bound migrants were found dead on a day of frantic rescues off Libya on Tuesday, including at least 22 in an overloaded wooden boat, an AFP photographer and the Italian coastguard said. The photographer, who was able to go aboard the vessel, said it appeared that many of the dead had suffocated. The Italian coastguard -- which is coordinating rescue efforts in international waters north of Libya -- said 28 bodies had been recovered over the course of 33 operations on Tuesday,
