About 12 Nigerian and Ghanian christian migrants were killed while on a boat with Muslim migrants from Libya to Italy. These muslems killed them and throw them into the see after a religious clash on the boat. Reports have it that the motive of the killing was because the victims spoke about their Christian faith while the Muslims were there.
The illegal immigrants, 105 of them in number, left
Libya
on Tuesday
in a rubber boat. When they sailed north across
the Mediterranean Sea, a fight broke out and the Muslim occupants in
the boat, mainly from Ivory
Coast, Mali and Senegal engaged in a fight with their fellow immigrants
who were Christians and threw 12 of them overboard, Italian police
said.
Other
Christians who survived the attack on the boat told police that they were spared
"because they strongly opposed the drowning attempt and formed a human
chain".
The Italian police have arrested 15 of the Muslims that
carried out the attack and they will be charged with multiple
homicide.
