>>Detained Chinese Migrants Attempt Suicide in Australia

SYDNEY -- Fearing they would be deported, more than a dozen Chinese nationals detained in Australia for immigration violations slashed their wrists and other body parts in an attempted suicide on Saturday, refugee advocates said.

Australia's Immigration Department said that 13 detainees had inflicted "self-harm" but said no deaths had occurred. It did not give details of the incident at the Villawood immigration detention camp in Sydney.

Prime Minister John Howard said on Friday his government was looking at ways to speed up rulings on immigration applications.
