Greece: Smuggling boats capsize, 22 migrants drown
May 05, 2014  21:34
A yacht and a dinghy crammed with immigrants trying to enter Greece today capsized in the eastern Aegean Sea, leaving at least 22 dead, including four children, and potentially several more missing in one of the deadliest such accidents in Greek waters in recent years. 

The vessels had been trying to enter Greece illegally when they overturned before dawn off the coast of the island of Samos near the Turkish coast. It was not immediately clear what caused the overloaded craft to capsize. This was the third fatal migrant boat disaster this year.
