Bodies Of Drowned Refugees Arrive In Malta

Body bags containing the 24 corpses of refugees who drowned after a smuggler's boat sank off Libya have arrived in Malta. The Italian coast guard vessel Bruno Gregoracci docked at Boiler Wharf in Valletta's Grand Harbour on Monday, with the victims of the Mediterranean tragedy laid out on its deck. They will be brought to Italy later on Monday. Officials say at least 700 people are feared to have died after the boat capsized and sank, but Italian prosecutors - citing a survivor - say as many as 950 migrants may have been on board.
