LAMPEDUSA, Italy — Exasperated Italian fishermen towed empty boats seized from illegal immigrants across the entrance of Lampedusa’s harbor on Monday to try to prevent any other vessels carrying North Africans from reaching the tiny island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Other islanders overturned garbage bins to protest the relentless arrival of illegal immigrants, including many now coming from Libyan shores. More than 3,000 new migrants have arrived in the last three days alone on the island of 5,000 residents.
