(ANSA) - Ancona, May 13 - 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.
