ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Fisherman and coastguards pulled bodies from the sea at the mouth of Istanbul's Bosphorus strait on Monday after a boat believed to be carrying dozens of illegal migrants sank, Turkish authorities and a shipping agent said.
The Istanbul governor's office said four people had been found dead and five rescued alive. Turkish media reported that at least 10 dead bodies were retrieved and around 30 people were missing. Most of those who died were children, the Hurriyet news website reported rescuers as saying.
