A total of 30 Egyptian fishermen drowned when their boat capsized off Libyan shores, head of the Fishermen Syndicate Ahmed Nassar said on Thursday, according to al-Watan Newspaper. The Egyptian fishing boat had left from Nile Delta's Kafr el-Sheikh when it capsized due to bad weather and high waters, Nassar said. Four persons survived after being pulled out of the water by Libya's sea guards who arrested them for fishing in Libyan waters without prior permit. Hundreds of Egyptian fishermen were arrested off the coast of Libya and Sudan for fishing in international waters.
