ATHENS, Greece -- Police on Thursday (July 17th) detained more than 100 illegal immigrants from Asia who were allegedly hiding in a cemetery near the southeastern border with Turkey. The group, consisting mainly of people from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, managed to hide there after using inflatable boats to cross from Turkey to Greece. Greek border officials arrested one of three suspected traffickers who helped the group. (Kathimerini - 18/07/08; AFP - 17/07/08)
