DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - Scores of migrants who spent days at sea were missing and feared dead Sunday after their boat wrecked off Senegal's coast, the Red Cross said.
About 150 people were believed to have been on the small wooden boat, two dozen of whom were rescued by fishermen Saturday near the northern Senegalese city of St. Louis, said Red Cross spokesman Mama Niang. It was unclear exactly what happened to the boat.
Security authorities confirmed that 24 people were rescued, but they would not comment on any deaths because police had not finished interviewing the survivors.
