Bodies returned to Lebanon after migrant boat sinks

Bodies of some of the victims who died when a boat carrying migrants sank off Syria this week were returned to Lebanon.  At least 77 people were killed when the boat carrying migrants from Lebanon capsized off Syria.

The incident was the deadliest so far as a surging number of Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians have been trying to flee crisis-hit Lebanon by sea for a better future in Europe.

Eight bodies were brought back to Lebanon early Friday, according to Lebanese Interior Minister and more arrived in the evening. They were taken in seven ambulances and headed south from the Arida border crossing toward the northern city of Tripoli.
