Australia rescues 106 from sinking asylum-seeker boat

Rescuers say they plucked to safety 106 people from a sinking asylum-seeker boat off Australia Tuesday, with just two suffering minor injuries. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) had earlier said a boat with approximately 105 people on board was in trouble. AMSA received a request for assistance from someone onboard the boat Tuesday morning, AFP reported. It was not clear if everyone had been accounted for.
