Many Feared Dead as Boat Capsizes in Bangladesh
 Rescuers found two bodies yesterday and were searching for more people missing after a goods-laden fishing boat capsized in a storm in northern Bangladesh overnight. The trawler, carrying bags of rice and fish along with 33 people on board, sank in the Meghna River near Kishoreganj, 80 kilometers north of the capital, Dhaka, the United News of Bangladesh said. Eighteen passengers managed to swim ashore or were rescued by passing boats, while about 15 others were initially unaccounted for, it said.Posted by: Fred 2006-04-10 |
