Migrant Boat Capsizes Off Italian Island

Officials on the Italian island of Lampedusa say at least 82 people are dead after a boat carrying African migrants caught fire and capsized offshore.

Government officials said at least 150 people have been rescued so far.

It is unclear how many people were originally on the boat, and how the fire started.

Lampedusa, an island closer to continental Africa than to the Italian mainland, is often the destination for boats full of migrant workers seeking entrance to the European Union.

On Monday this week, 13 would-be migrants drowned off the coast of nearby Sicily after their boat sank and they tried to swim to shore.
