Twenty-five illegal Nepali migrants allegedly on their way to the United States have been detained by the Salvadoran navy, Associated Press (AP) reported.
The Salvadoran navy found them aboard a boat in the Pacific along with 25 Bangladeshis, 21 Eritreans and five Ecuadoreans.
The boat was detected about 80 km off the coast, and "without doubt the final destination was to arrive in the United States", said Navy Capt. Maximiliano Corado.
Capt Corado said all the migrants appeared to be undocumented, and all except the Ecuadoreans will be deported.
