Over the past 48 hours some six hundred illegal immigrants have been detained in operations across . . .[restrict]Libya, highlighting the problem the country is having controlling its borders.

In Misrata this morning, police detained 130 illegal immigrants who were hiding inside a truck. All were reported to be Ethiopians.
