Turkey sends divers to Iraq for rescue efforts

ANKARA

A team of 20 Turkish divers left for Iraq to assist in search and rescue efforts in the aftermath of a deadly ferryboat accident, the navy said Friday.

At least 103 people were killed last week when a ferryboat carrying roughly 200 passengers sank in the Tigris River near Mosul.
