Nicaragua finds boat with badly decomposed bodies

Nicaraguan authorities said yesterday the bodies of six people, apparently migrants, have been found in a small boat drifting off its Caribbean coast, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

The Interior Ministry said a Republic of Guinea passport belonging to a 31-year-old man was found on one of the bodies. The passport had no Nicaraguan entry stamp in it.

AP said that the boat was found drifting about a mile (1 1/2 kilometers) out to sea on Monday near Cayo Las Palomas.
