Alarm over dozens of missing migrants in Mediterranean

ROME - Europe's coast guard agency said on Sunday it was looking for a dinghy believed to be carrying dozens of migrants when it went missing after setting sail from Libya for Italy.

The European Union's Frontex border guard and coast guard agency later told AFP that one of the four boats had safely reached Italy and another two were still at sea."Frontex plane will fly again morning in search of the remaining boat," a spokesman told AFP. Italy has long established itself as the primary European port of entry for migrants seeking refuge from Africa and the Middle East.
