Greek coast guard rescues 108 migrants; 4 missing

The Greek Coast Guard on Sunday rescued 108 migrants from a sailboat that was found rudderless and leaking water in the Aegean Sea in near gale force winds, according to Greek authorities.

The rescued migrants - 63 men, 24 women and 21 children - told authorities that there were four people missing. Reports of a sailboat adrift off the uninhabited island of Delos reached the Coast Guard late Saturday.

It dispatched three rescue vessels and a tugboat. Early Sunday morning, rescuers managed to tow the tugboat to an islet off the nearby island of Mykonos, authorities said.

The migrants were then transported to Mykonos. The migrants told authorities that their boat had sailed from Turkey to an unknown destination.
