Boat captain held after Bahrain tragedy
Police are questioning the captain of a boat that capsized off the coast of Bahrain, killing at least 57 people. The boat's owners blamed overcrowding for the disaster, pinning blame on the tour company operating the vessel. Local prosecutors in Bahrain said the captain was not properly qualified and detained him and his assistant. The BBC says at least 67 people were rescued from the al-Dana vessel, while two are still missing. South African construction company Murray and Roberts Holdings is mourning the loss of four of its South African employees, the partner of a Murray & Roberts project worker and three British employees.
