The Libyan coast guards rescued 102 illegal migrants off Tripoli's shores on Saturday, the navy spokesman said.

Speaking to MENA, Ayub Qassem said the group were rescued 22-25 miles away from the Libyan coasts, and grouped different nationalities.

The coast guards sent first two rescue boats, but due to the long distance and high waves, it had to ask a commercial ship to help in the rescue operation, Qassem added.
