VIENNA (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday that everyone had been "shaken" by news that up to 50 migrants had been found dead in a truck in Austria. "We are of course all shaken by the appalling news," Merkel told a news conference at a summit on the West Balkans in Vienna. "This reminds us that we must tackle quickly the issue of immigration and in a European spirit -- that means in a spirit of solidarity -- and to find solutions."
