July 31st, 2009 | PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos -- Police in the Turks and Caicos Islands are questioning Haitian survivors from a capsized migrant vessel in hopes of identifying those responsible for the smuggling operation.
Deputy police commissioner Hubert Hughes says the survivors remaining in the British territory will not be sent back to Haiti until the interviews are completed, possibly this weekend. About 70 of the 119 people who escaped Sunday's shipwreck already have been deported.

Hughes said police boats are continuing their search Friday in a last-ditch effort to find survivors.
