Turks and Caicos patrol picks up Haiti migrant boat

More than 100 Haitians have been picked up off the Turks and Caicos Islands by marine police after trying to flee quake-stricken Haiti in a rickety boat. The authorities in the British overseas territory said the group was being held in a sports complex rather than being sent straight back. Haitians often risk the 90-mile (145km) journey in overcrowded boats but forced deportations were suspended last week.
