(ANSA) - ATHENS, 07 AGO - The Greek coastguard on Sunday said
122 migrants were rescued near Rhodes after their vessel ran
into trouble, as reported by AFP. The migrants, who had set off
from neighbouring Turkey, were picked up Saturday by a passing
Marshall Islands-flagged cargo ship, they said. The migrants
were then transferred to a Greek coastguard patrol boat and
taken to the island of Kos. No details were immediately
available on the nationalities and gender of the group or the
type of vessel transporting them, concludes AFP. (ANSA).
