News in Brief Britain begins investigation of 54 immigrant deaths DOVER, England (AP) — Britain launched a major inquiry Monday into “the profoundly evil” crime syn dicates that smuggle immigrants after 58 people — thought to be Chinese — were found dead in the un refrigerated, sealed compartment of a tomato truck. Two men huddled near the door at the back of the Dutch-registered truck survived the five-hour journey across the English Channel, from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge to the southeast port of Dover. Too traumatized to be questioned immediately, the survivors were hospitalized at a secret location for fear they would be abducted or killeid before identify ing the agents who sold them their deadly, illicit pas sage to the West. The National Crime Squad, a police body, will lead the drive to catch the traffickers, working with intelli gence, customs and immigration officials.
