Italian military pilots have found the bodies of an unconfirmed number of suspected would-be migrants in the Mediterranean Sea amid a wave of attempted illegal migration prompted by favourable weather conditions, according to dpa. The bodies were located around 50 nautical miles south of the island of Lampedusa, military officials said in Palermo. Italian state television reported that there were around 10 dead. Military and coastguard vessels by Tuesday evening had however recovered just three bodies, it was reported. The exact circumstances of the latest Mediterranean drowning tragedy where not known.
