They were found aboard a cargo ship. Classified as "stowaways". Uh, OK, these are the dead ones. What about the ones that have come here and lived? And then disappeared?
NEWARK, N.J. -- A cargo ship carrying stowaways from Pakistan -- some believed to be dead -- arrived at Port Newark, N.J., Wednesday.
US Customs agents and Coast Guard personnel took charge of the scene after Port Authority police swarmed the port at Berth 57 to meet the ship, a Port Authority source said.
Port Authority police were tipped off to the stowaways aboard the Villa De Aquarius, but officials did not say how.
"They're coming in to Port Newark, that's what we know at this point," a source said.
A Port Authority police spokesman did not immediately respond to calls.
Police were notified about 7:20am local time, law enforcement source said.
"There is a faint knocking coming out of a container very close to the bottom of the pile."Haven't heard from Ali Blah Blah in while.
"It's going to take a while to get all those containers unloaded to get to this one," the official said.
