SAN SALVADOR (El Salvador), Sept 7: The Salvadoran navy says it has found 76 migrants from as far away as Bangladesh, Nepal and Eritrea aboard a boat in the Pacific. Navy Capt Maximiliano Corado says the boat was detected about 50 miles (80 kilometres) off the coast, and "without doubt the final destination was to arrive in the United States." The migrants include 25 Bangladeshis, 25 Nepalese, 21 Eritreans and five Ecuadoreans. — AP
