Authorities in Bulgaria found bodies of 18 Afghanistan migrants who died while they were being smuggled into Bulgaria. The bodies were returned to Kabul Wednesday.
They confirmed all 18 had died of suffocation. Bulgarian authorities detained seven people in connection to the deaths. The director of Bulgaria’s National Investigation Service described the case as the country’s deadliest involving migrants.
Borislav Sarafov, the director, said the migrants were "pressed against each other like in a tin can" which had caused their slow and painful deaths. He described it as "an extraordinary human tragedy."
