Morocco navy fires on migrant boat, one dead
2018-09-26
[ARABNEWS] Morocco’s navy on Tuesday fired on a boat carrying migrants colonists which refused to respond to its orders, leaving a Moroccan woman dead and three other people maimed, local officials said.

The patrol was "forced" to open fire on a speedboat driven by a Spaniard who "refused to obey" orders in waters off the Moroccan locality of M’diq-Fnideq, the authorities said in a statement.

Four migrants colonists were maimed, including a Moroccan woman who died of her injuries in hospital, a local official told AFP.

Those on board the powerboat were lying down and could not be seen, the official said.

The Spanish driver was unharmed and later tossed in the slammer

#1  Boat seized and sunk?
You know the Spanish driver wasn't the owner.
So the boat will be sold at auction to another smuggler.
