Migrant boat tragedy strikes off Greece, leaving dozens dead and missing.

Nine survivors of a migrant boat sinking were arrested on suspicion of smuggling as hope faded for hundreds of other passengers who were missing and attention turned to Greece's failure to act before the overcrowded ship capsized. The trawler may have carried as many as 750 passengers, including women and children who were likely trapped in the hold as the vessel overturned and went down early Wednesday. Greek authorities were criticised for not acting to rescue the migrants, even though a coast guard vessel escorted the trawler for hours and watched helplessly as it sank in minutes.
