Once again this summer, as both Italian and foreign sun-lovers soak up their beach holidays, boatloads of would-be immigrants from North Africa have been aiming for Lampedusa's coastline in a desperate attempt to reach European shores. And with tragic predictablity, the lovely waters have turned lethal. Officials fear that as many as 60 people perished in the open sea near the rocky island over the weekend in two successive wrecks of rickety, overloaded fishing boats that had set off from the Libyan coast...
