WARSAW, Poland – Poland's Foreign Ministry says a Maltese ship on a mission to evacuate foreigners from Libya's capital came under fire and couldn't enter the harbor.
The PAP news agency cited ministry spokeswoman Paulina Kapuscinska as saying the ship came under fire amid fighting between Muammar al-Qaddafi's forces and Libyan rebels. She said the ship was unable to enter Tripoli's harbor.
She said the ship was to have evacuated a Polish mother with three children Sunday morning. Maltese citizens were also to have been evacuated. Several attempts by The Associated Press to reach ministry officials for more details weren't successful.
Malta's government referred to the incident in a statement, saying only "no one has been reported injured."
