Greece: Immigrants rescued in Aegean Sea

ATHENS, Greece -- Greek authorities rescued dozens of illegal immigrants Wednesday from a boat that became stranded in rough weather in the Aegean Sea. The 53 immigrants, including six children and four women, were rescued south of the island of Mylos, the Merchant Marine Ministry said.

The rescue effort began Tuesday night and involved commercial vessels, a navy frigate, a helicopter and a military transport plane. It was initially hampered by strong winds in the area, said the ministry, which deals with rescues at sea.
