Greek coast guard says merchant vessel rescues 41 migrants

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s coast guard says a merchant vessel has rescued 41 migrants whose boat was found rudderless at sea after sailing from Libya.

The migrants, reportedly from Egypt, Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan, were found Saturday night about 110 miles (175 kilometers) off Greece’s southwest coast.

A coast guard spokesman says the rescue vessel is expected at the Greek port of Kalamata early Sunday.
