At least 31 dead as Indonesian ferry sinks

At least 31 people were killed and 125 rescued after a ferry sank off Indonesia’s Sulawesi island in the latest of a series of transport accidents to hit the archipelago nation, officials said on Friday. Residents near the town of Bau Bau on south-east Sulawesi heard survivors screaming and pleading for help after the Acita 03 capsized.
