CAIRO (AP) — A member of a criminal group linked to a mass grave containing the bodies of 21 migrants will stand trial on a charge of human trafficking, Libya’s attorney general’s office said Friday. The office said in a statement on Facebook that the gang member was being referred to court. The attorney general’s statement didn’t identify the gang. The attorney general’s office released images Friday showing bodies wrapped in black plastic bags, with some remains partially covered in dirt. Authorities arrested one of the members of the group, while remaining members are still being pursued, according to the attorney general's office.
