European Union officials developed a 10-point plan to address migrant smuggling by boat Monday, which includes plans to destroy smugglers' boats so that they can't repeat the trip. The new plan also promises to expedite processing of asylum applications and to fingerprint all migrants. "We are developing a truly European sense of solidarity in fighting human trafficking - finally so," said U.S. foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini. The news camed amidst reports of yet another migrant boat calamity in the Mediterranean Sea this morning, and as survivors of Sunday's boat crash—carrying as many as 950 passengers—still number at just over two dozen. The death toll from Sunday's crash may make it the worst disaster in the Mediterranean in years.
