[01] Missing Afghan boy, 11, turns up safe in Patras
An 11-year-old Afghan youth who disappeared from a UN-run refugee
centre on the island of Crete on Monday was discovered unharmed on
Wednesday on the Greek mainland, and specifically in the western port
city of Patras.
The boy's disappearance had triggered a Europe-wide Amber Alert.
The 11-year-old reportedly told authorities that he left the Anogeia,
Crete region to seek out a friend that had also left the juvenile
refugee centre for Patras -- a port viewed as a "gateway" towards
western Europe by Third World illegal migrants.
The youth is one of 25 minors hosted at the centre, operated under the
auspices of the UN High Commission for Refugees and renovated from a
dormitory owned by the National Youth Foundation.
