Italy: Muslim Migrants Tossed Christians into Sea

Italian authorities arrested 15 Muslims for throwing 12 Christians overboard a migrant boat traveling from Africa to Italy this week.

Police charged the 15 with multiple homicides aggravated by religious hatred.

Their motive for throwing the passengers overboard was they "professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim."

The survivors said they boarded a rubber boat on April 14 on the Libyan coast with 105 passengers on board. They were thrown into the sea because of their faith.
