A Libyan policeman in Tripoli helps African migrants off a boat overflowing with migrants, which survived a violent storm, after it docked in the port of Tripoli March 29, 2009. Libyan authorities have recovered the bodies of 100 migrants trying to reach Europe who drowned after their boat sank off Libya, officials said on Wednesday. The ship was one of four migrant boats which had sailed from Libya between Saturday and Sunday, apparently heading to Italy, Libyan officials said. Picture taken March 29, 2009.
