[quote]Forty-two people have been killed when a boat carrying Somali refugees off the coast of Yemen was fired at from a helicopter, the International Organisation for Migration says.
Women and children were among those killed when the vessel was hit near the Bab al-Mandeb strait, the IOM said.
Among the dead on the boat were Somali refugees carrying identity documents issued by the UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency said.
About 80 survivors were rescued and taken to hospital, according to the IOM.
It remains unclear who carried out the attack, or whether it came from a military vessel or an attack helicopter.

Ok, that aside my guess is on boatdealers shoting down the boat after something went wrong with some transation.
