71 Egyptians flown home after Libya unrest

A special flight organized by Egypt’s foreign ministry has flown home 71 nationals from the Libyan capital Tripoli after deadly clashes rocked the city earlier this month. Friday's special flight "enabled the repatriation of 71 Egyptian citizens who had expressed a desire to come home", the ministry said. Turkey evacuated 82 of its nationals from Tripoli on a similar repatriation flight last week.
