The bodies of at least 11 African migrants have been found on the coast of Sicily, Italian authorities said.
A number of teenagers were among the dead discovered on the beach at Gela and in the sea on Sunday.
Coastguards rescued more than 140 other immigrants from a nearby boat. Most of the people are thought to have come from Eritrea.
The migrants are believed to have made the crossing from Libya. Survivors said the boat ran aground close to shore.
Trawler seized
They said they were told to jump into the sea when it happened on Saturday night a few hundred metres from the shore, the BBC's correspondent David Willey said from Rome.
The small trawler in which they had made the two-day crossing from Libya was seized by coastguards.
Police arrested six Egyptians and a Libyan who they believe organised the trip.
Survivors said they had paid more than $2,000 (ã1,086) to make the trip from the Horn of Africa via Sudan and Egypt, and across the Libyan desert. ** Most of the migrants are expected to be sent back to their own countries under tough new Italian immigration laws.**

MR,
What I would like to know is where in the hell do these people get $2,000 dollars each? Or is this a "loan"?

It must be a big chunk of cash for them. The higher the risk will be to lose this "investment", and the more difficult the authorities make it for smugglers to get away, thus potentially increasing the "fare", the less insentive there's going to be for darkies to "emigrate". Plus, making their life hell after they've "made it" will complete the package.
Niggers in Italy are reduced to selling trinkets on the street and everyone is looking down on them. Wish the same could be done to cucarachas here :yucky:
