Dutch authorities rescue 38 people adrift in rubber boat

Dutch authorities rescued 38 men from a rubber boat drifting without a motor off the coast of Zeeland province; none was wearing a life vest. Thirty-six of the passengers were from Afghanistan, while two Sudanese men suspected of being smugglers were arrested. Military police do not know where the boat came from or where it was heading, and such interceptions are rare in Dutch waters. Authorities are due to open an investigation on Sunday.
