DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - A ferry packed with people going home for an Islamic festival capsized as they disembarked at a terminal in southern Bangladesh, leaving at least 15 dead and scores missing, authorities said Saturday.
Some of the missing were feared trapped inside the ferry, local police officer Saiful Islam said.
The triple-deck ferry, M.V. Coco, was traveling late Friday from Dhaka to the coastal town of Bhola and was crowded with people heading home to celebrate the Eid-ul-Azha festival, he said.
