havana - Twelve people have been rescued southeast of Cuba by the crew of a cruise ship. The Disney Wonder was last weekend, according to CNN on the way to the Cayman Islands when the rickety boat was discovered with the Cubans.

The people on board are believed to asylum seekers, but it is unclear whether they were on their way to the United States. They get cruise ship in any case no lift to US territory. The group will be transferred to the authorities on the island of Grand Cayman, told the Coast Guard Sunday.
