The Italian Coast Guard says it has rescued 22 people and recovered nine bodies after a smugglers’ boat capsized in a storm about 30 miles south of the island of Lampedusa. Survivors indicated that the steel bottom boat had departed from Sfax, Tunisia, overnight Sunday carrying 46 people from Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali and Ivory Coast. The U.N. refugee agency says the boat capsized Wednesday morning as waves reached up to 16 feet. The victims include a 6-month-old.
