ANKARA (Turkey): Turkish
security forces rounded up 64 Pakistani would-be illegal
immigrants, two Greek sailors and two Turks in a
human-smuggling operation in the Aegean province of Izmir,
local security sources said on Wednesday.
A naval unit from the local paramilitary police stopped a boat
carrying the Pakistanis to a ship waiting off the coast near
the resort town of Cesme late on Tuesday, an official said.
The two Greek sailors of the ship, who were apparently
planning to take the men to Greece, and two Turks who were
helping the Pakistanis board the vessel, were handed over to
judicial authorities on suspicion of human-trafficking, he
said.
