Three people were dead and 13 missing Monday after a boat carrying
illegal immigrants capsized in the Indian Ocean off the French overseas
territory of Mayotte, the local prefect’s office said. Eight others
survived the accident on the boat, which had departed from the Comoran
island of Anjouan, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Mayotte. The
boat capsized 300 meters (yards) off the coast and the search was
continuing for other potential survivors, the office said.
