DAKAR: Senegal's military said on Saturday it had intercepted a boat carrying more than 200 migrants trying to reach Europe after nearly 90 died in an attempt to make the perilous Atlantic crossing earlier this month. The boat, which was intercepted on Friday by a patrol boat in fishing waters near Lompoul in northwestern Senegal, was carrying 202 people, including five women and a minor, the army sent to X. In early July, a boat with about 170 people that had set out from Senegal capsized off the coast of Mauritania and killed nearly 90 people.
