The body of a would-be immigrant is lowered off an Armed Forces of Malta patrol boat onto the quay at the Maritime Squadron base at Haywharf in Valletta's Marsamxett Harbour June 30, 2007. Twenty would-be immigrants were rescued by an Icelandic trawler, the "Eyborg", when their boat capsized some 70 nautical miles north of Libya while on their way to reach European soil from Africa. Up to ten other immigrants are believed to have drowned when the boat capsized, an army spokesman said.
