The head of the anti-immigrant Northern
League said the government had blood on its hands after it
emerged Monday that 30 people died in an overnight migrant
crossing from North Africa to Italy. "Stop crossings, help them
at home now!" said Matteo Salvini on Facebook. "The shirts of
(Premier Matteo) Renzi and (Interior Minister Angelino) Alfano
are stained with blood". Nearly 600 passengers were aboard the
boat intercepted by the navy, officials said, adding the dead
victims on board likely asphyxiated.
