25 migrants found dead on boat traveling to Italy

None

Italy's coastguard found the bodies of 25 would-be migrants Monday in the hold of a boat crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa to the small Italian island of Lampedusa.

 

The officials said they found the corpses - all young men - after boarding the overcrowded boat a few miles off Lampedusa, which is closer to North Africa than the Italian mainland. According to the survivors, the boat had set sail from Libya two days ago, he said. (AP)
