23 Pakistanis among 45 illegal immigrants held in Greece

A Greek border patrol at the frontier with Turkey intercepted a truck hiding 45 illegal migrants, of whom 15 had fled Myanmar, police said in a statement on Friday. The police said they had very rarely found people from Myanmar among illegal migrants entering Greece.
Also, crammed into the vehicle were 23 Pakistanis and seven Iraqis. The 29-year old Albanian driver and presumed trafficker tried to escape the border control in an attempt to flee on foot once the truck was stopped. Greek police said that among thousands of migrants crossing through their country each year en route to Western Europe, the majority has been from Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.
