BERLIN — At least four people died off the coast of Libya and more were missing after a rubber boat carrying around 150 migrants was attacked Friday by a group aboard a speedboat labeled as belonging to Libya's coast guard, a German aid group said. In the ensuing panic, part of the rubber boat collapsed and most of the estimated 150 people onboard ended up in the water, Neugebauer said. He said the speedboat bearing the insignia of the Libyan Coast Guard "had several people on board" and had been seen in the area repeatedly. In Libya, a spokesman for the Navy and Coast Guard said investigators were looking into the report. Brig-Gen. Ayoub Gasem told The Associated Press that Coast Guard officials assured him they were not involved in the reported attack.
