Border police say that 98
migrants, including several children, arrived at the Italian
port of Ancona Monday night after spending more than 20 hours
hidden in two trucks aboard the Greek ferry Cruise Olympia.
The drivers of both trucks, one Turkish and one Greek
national, have been arrested.
Many of the migrants were from war-torn Syria and police
say some will likely ask for political asylum.
About 69 were detained by police immediately, while the
rest were tracked down later in the Adriatic city of Ancona by
police.
