  • [01] Foreign nat'ls flee Libya rescue vessel off Crete; 3 dead

    (ANA-MPA) -- Three bodies of foreign workers evacuated from Libya were recovered and more than a dozen are still missing on Sunday morning after an undetermined number of evacuees -- identified as Bangladeshi nationals -- jumped off the rescue vessel as it was nearing the Souda Bay anchorage on Crete.

    One report put the missing at 17.

    A massive search-and-rescue effort is underway at Souda Bay, near the port city of Hania, which hosts both civil and military facilities.

    According to initial reports, the foreign workers attempted to "jump ship" before landing at the harbour instead of being repatriated to their home country. The vessel has picked them up from eastern Libya the previous day. Some 40 individuals were picked up in the unseasonably frigid waters. (ANA-MPA)
