17/08/2005 - 22:04:22More than 100 people are feared dead after a boat from Ecuador laden with migrants capsized and sank in rough waters in the Pacific Ocean.
Only nine of the 113 believed to be on board were plucked from the ocean days later by a passing fishing boat, Colombian and Ecuadorean officials said tonight.
Ecuadorean Navy Captain Armando Elizalde said the remaining people aboard “sank with the boat”.
