Six die as boat carrying Syrian refugees capsizes off Turkish coast

Six people died Tuesday when a boat carrying Syrian
refugees heading towards Europe capsized off the Turkish coast, the
Dogan news agency reported, according to dpa.
The boat had about 60 people on board when it ran into stormy weather
just before dawn. The Turkish coast guard managed to rescue most of
the migrants.
The boat had left from Bodrum, Turkey, and was heading towards the
Greek island Kos, apparently in the hope of getting the migrants onto
European Union territory.
