Italy's coast guard said rescuers saved 484 migrants from boats in the Mediterranean Sea yesterday and found the bodies of seven men who had died in the attempt to get to Europe. <br/><br/>In a statement today, the coast guard said the migrants were rescued from four separate rubber boats by the Italian coast guard and navy, an aid group and two private vessels. The coast guard gave no further details. <br/><br/>Most sea-borne migrants to Italy are originally from Sub-Saharan Africa or Bangladesh, and pay Libya-based smugglers to organize their passage.
