Suspected Slave Ship

NPR's Ivan Watson in the city of Cotonou in the West African country of Benin reports on the mystery of the whereabouts of nearly 200 slave children. They were thought to have been on board a cargo vessel. But when the ship docked at Benin's main port, there was no sign of the child slaves.
