Read full article: Greece launches rescue for new migrant boat near RhodesATHENS Greece's coast guard launched a new search and rescue operation Thursday following a distress call from a vessel with 50 migrants on board that was in trouble south of the island of Rhodes. Of those rescued, 72 were transported to Rhodes, five to the island of Karpathos and 19 were picked up from a cargo ship by the Turkish coast guard. The Greek coast guard said Thursday that a relative has reported the father and child weren't among those rescued. The coast guard also said it had arrested a 41-year-old suspected migrant smuggler, bringing to four the number of people rescued from the wreck who have been arrested. Thousands of people continue to make their way to the Greek islands from the nearby Turkish coast, paying smugglers to ferry them in often unseaworthy, overcrowded inflatable dinghies or other vessels.
