71 Migrants Died in Truck in Europe

Police have arrested a Bulgarian man of Lebanese origin who owned a truck found on a roadside with dozens of dead migrants inside in Austria on Thursday, along with two drivers.“This horrible crime shows that we must get even tougher in the battle against people-smuggling,” said Austria’s interior minister. “People-smugglers are criminals and not well-minded helpers. They do not care about the well-being of the refugees; they care about profit.” The dead migrants included 60 men, eight women, and three children. Officials say they may have been a Syrian refugee group. The gruesome discovery came on the heels of record numbers of migrants attempting to cross into Europe this summer.
