Aylon Kurdi's Father- "People Smuggler" drove boat

By NCD on Tue, 09/15/2015 - 3:45pm |

The father of the dead toddler that washed up on a Turkish beach has been called a human trafficker by two passengers who lost love ones when the boat sank in heavy seas. Kurdi didn't have enough life jackets and 'used his son's lack of one to say they were not needed'. The Canadian government also says the father's claim he filed papers for immigration to Canada is a not true. See also UK Telegraph, UK Daily Mail, The Australian. The sub-story darker side, of course, never makes the US press.
