23 migrants killed after boat capsized

A speedboat carrying 23 Salvadoran migrants who were planning to cross illegally into the US capsized in a river in southern Mexico killing six people and leaving another 11 missing and feared dead, officials said.

Also missing were two Mexican smugglers who were riding on the single-engine metal and fibreglass boat, which struck a rock and capsized in the frigid waters of the Rio Usumacinta.
