Would-be immigrants sit on the deck of an army patrol boat as it berths at the Armed Forces of Malta Maritime Squadron base at Haywharf in Valletta's Marsamxett Harbour June 15, 2007. Forty-three would-be immigrants, claiming to be from Ivory Coast, Ghana, Somalia and Eritrea, were intercepted aboard a rubber dinghy 58 nautical miles south-west of the Maltese islands on their way to European soil from Africa, authorities said. Army sources said that statistics so far for this year show that migrant arrivals have tripled when compared to the same period last year. REUTERS/Darrin Zammit Lupi (MALTA)
