Jakarta, Indonesia AP —Indonesian rescuers searched for a Spanish soccer coach and his three children on Saturday after a tour boat carrying 11 people sank overnight near Padar Island, a popular destination within Komodo National Park, officials said. He said three people were rescued by a passing vessel, and four others were picked up by a search and rescue team. The Spanish soccer club Valencia said that a coach for its women’s reserve team, Fernando Martín, and three of his children were among the victims. “Our teams have been combing the northern waters of Padar Island until dusk,” Rahman said. It was centered on a 5-nautical-mile (9-kilometer) radius of the sinking site, where rescuers found the boat debris, Rahman said.
