27 DEAD AFTER ANOTHER MIGRANT BOAT CAPSIZES OFF ITALY ISLAND

For the second time in a week, a smugglers' boat overloaded with migrants capsized in the Canal of Sicily on Friday as it made the perilous crossing from Africa to Europe. At least 27 people drowned, but 221 people were rescued in a joint Italian-Maltese operation, officials said.

Helicopters ferried the injured to Lampedusa, the Italian island that is closer to Africa than the Italian mainland and the destination of choice for most smugglers' boats leaving Tunisia or Libya. It was off Lampedusa that a migrant ship from Libya capsized Oct. 3 with some 500 people aboard. Only 155 survived.

Friday's capsizing occurred 65 miles (105 kilometres) southeast of Lampedusa, but in waters where Malta has search and rescue responsibilities.
