POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The bodies of three women thought to be Haitian migrants washed ashore on a south Florida beach, authorities said.
The women, whose bodies were found early Saturday, were among a group that included up to 12 other people who apparently were trying to illegally migrate to the United States, said sheriff's spokes- woman Liz Calzadilla-Fiallo.
A deputy saw 10 to 12 people running from the water nearby, Calzadilla-Fiallo said.

No identification was found but the women were believed to be from Haiti and in their 20s and 30s, she said. They were found at three locations along an oceanfront road, she said.
