Coastguard boats patrol the area where African migrants, trying to reach Italian shores, drowned off the island of Lampedusa on Oct. 3, 2013. Dozens of people died and scores were missing after a boat carrying migrants from Africa sank off the Sicilian island of Lampedusa on Thursday, officials and rescuers said. The coastguard said it appeared that there were between 400 and 500 migrants on the boat when it sank, and 150 had been saved so far.
