6 Iranian migrants pulled from sinking boat in Channel
None
PARIS -- French maritime authorities have rescued six Iranian migrants whose fishing boat was sinking in the English Channel as they sought to reach Britain.
The overnight rescue effort took more than two hours because extremely thick fog complicated efforts to find the boat, the CROSS maritime authority said in a statement Tuesday.
It said the migrants were found not far from the Calais coast, suffering from mild hypothermia, and handed over to border police.
