After Italian migrant boat wreck, police arrest three alleged traffickers

Rescuers pulled the body of a man out of the sea on Tuesday, raising the death toll from a migrant shipwreck near the southern Italian coast to at least 64, including about 14 children.
“We will carry on searching the surface of the sea until we are certain that we have found everyone,” said Rocco Mortato, a member of the underwater diving team of the fire brigade.
Eighty people have been rescued since the sailboat sank early on Sunday in heavy seas near Steccato di Cutro, a seaside resort on the eastern coast of Calabria. The boat had set sail from the port of Izmir in western Turkey.
Rescuers said most of the migrants came from Afghanistan, as well as from countries including Iran, Somalia and Syria.
