Greek Coast Guard Searches for 22 Missing Illegal Immigrants

At least 22 people were missing after a boat carrying hundreds of refugees sent out a distress signal about 56 kilometres off the coast of the Greek island of Corfu, media reports said Sunday. Greek radio reported that 241 of the immigrants were safe.
The Hasan Reis ship, carrying at least 263 migrants, has reportedly sunk near the Greek island of Corfu, authorities have stated.
A Dutch cargo ship rescued the passengers about seven hours after the call that alerted the Coast Guard.
Authorities say they are waiting for the cargo ship’s imminent arrival at Corfu’s harbor.  A helicopter search found no survivors at sea.
