ROME — Italy ferried hundreds of Tunisians off a tiny Sicilian island Saturday to detention centers amid government fears that terrorists could mix in among the boatloads of people fleeing turmoil in North Africa.
But the exodus to Italian shores aboard rickety fishing vessels continued without letup. By dawn, about 3,000 migrants had arrived by boat on Lampedusa over three days, hundreds more arrived during the day and several more boats were reportedly spotted on the horizon, Italian authorities said.
