At least two people have\u00a0died, with many more feared dead among about 250 people who went missing after a fishing boat carrying migrants to Italy from Libya\u00a0capsized off the coast of\u00a0Tunisia,\u00a0officials said.<\/p>\n

About 570 people were rescued, Agence Tunis Afrique Presse, the state-run news agency, said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The passengers are migrants from Africa and Asia who planned to enter Italy illegally, according to the Tunisian agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Refugees have fled Libya amid more than three months of fighting between troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi and opponents of his four-decade rule.<\/p>\n

The conflict has prompted a Nato-led air assault against pro-government forces and has\u00a0left thousands dead. The unrest in Libya<\/a> erupted after revolts unseated the leaders of Egypt<\/a> and Tunisia<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

At least 16 people were confirmed dead among as many as 600 migrants heading to Italy who went missing when their ship sank<\/a> soon after leaving the Libyan capital, Tripoli, last month, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n
