[01] Foreign nat'ls flee Libya rescue vessel off Crete; 3 dead

One report put the missing at 17.

A massive search-and-rescue effort is underway at Souda Bay, near the port city of Hania, which hosts both civil and military facilities.

According to initial reports, the foreign workers attempted to "jump ship" before landing at the harbour instead of being repatriated to their home country. The vessel has picked them up from eastern Libya the previous day. Some 40 individuals were picked up in the unseasonably frigid waters. (ANA-MPA)
