At least 10 Haitian migrants were killed and rescuers scrambled to save about 100 more who clung to the hull and mast of an overloaded wooden sloop that capsized in the Bahamas, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Tuesday. Bahamian authorities said they had not confirmed any deaths, but the U.S. Coast Guard put the death toll at 10. Thirteen survivors were hoisted aboard a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter, said Petty Officer Mark Barney, a Coast Guard spokesman in Miami. The U.S. Coast Guard said it has interdicted 346 Haitian migrants at sea in the last two months.
