Over 100 rescued after boat sinks in Indian Ocean
None
Rescuers pulled more than 100 suspected asylum seekers to safety on Tuesday after their boat sank in the Indian Ocean.
The boat sank about 220 kilometers (140 miles) north of Christmas Island, where Australia operates a detention camp for asylum seekers. An Australian navy ship hurried to the scene after the Australian Maritime Safety Authority received a call for help from someone on board Tuesday morning. When the navy ship arrived, the boat was partially submerged and passengers were struggling in the water. (AP)
