Muslims who were among migrants trying
to get from Libya to Italy in a boat this week threw 12 fellow passengers
overboard, killing them because the 12 were Christians, Italian police say.
According to reports, a group of 105
people left Libya on Tuesday in a rubber boat and during the trip
across the Mediterranean Sea a religious argument ensued that led to the alleged assailants, Muslims from the Ivory
Coast, Mali and Senegal, throwing the 12 Christians overboard over religious argument.
The boat was later intercepted by an
Italian navy vessel, which transferred the passengers to a Panamanian-flagged
ship, after which the arrests were made. The 12 who died were from Nigeria and
Ghana, the police said.
Religion is not war! Such a shame that African now kill their fellow Africans and hide under the umbrella of religion and insecurities.
