Bulgaria To Send Back 53 Kurdish Refugees 
 
     SOFIA, Aug 27 (Reuter) - Romanian border authorities
returned to Bulgaria 53 Kurdish refugees hidden in a
Turkish-registered truck carrying scrap metal to Germany, police
said on Wednesday. 
     "The refugees were discovered when they cut the tarpaulin
covering the truck to get some fresh air while queueing at the
Romanian border," police said. 
     The truck was sealed in a Turkish customs office and
Bulgarian customs on the Turkish and Romanian borders waved it
through. 
     The Kurds will be extradited to Turkey. The truck driver, a
Turk, took flight in Romania and is being sought, police said.
