 An Interior Ministry report has confirmed that Moroccan security forces shot dead four illegal immigrants trying to storm a fence at a Spanish enclave and gain a foothold into Europe this month, according to the country's official news agency. Six migrants died on 5 and 6 October trying to cross barbed-wire fences into the Spanish enclave of Melilla on Morocco's northern coast, the MAP news agency reported on Monday quoting the Interior Ministry. Of those, four died after being shot in a "spray of gunfire by Moroccan security forces", the report said. The other two are believed to have died after blood loss from wounds, MAP said, without specifying what caused the wounds. The victims' names and nationalities are unknown, as they were not carrying identification. |
