Dozens of migrants are missing after a rubber boat they were on sank off the coast of Libya. 

One official is quoted as saying 63 migrants have disappeared after Sunday's incident east of Tripoli, while 41 people have been rescued.

About 170 migrants have gone missing in the Mediterranean Sea since Friday.
The boat capsized off Garabouilli, about 50km (31 miles) east of the capital, Tripoli. Citing eyewitnesses, Gen Ayoub Kacem, a spokesman for the Libyan Navy, says that 63 people were missing.
He said 41 would-be migrants, who were wearing life jackets, were saved. More than 1,000 people have died while sailing from Libya to Europe so far this year.
