SPAIN The Melilla frontier was closed today as Morrocans threw stones at the Spanish border police
The frontier in the North African Spanish enclave Melilla has been closed for more than two hours today as dozens of Moroccans threw stones and other heavy objects at police.
The UIP Police Intervention Team was soon on the scene along with the National Police and the Reserve Group of the Civil Guard.
The Government delegate described the action as ‘inacceptable and intolerable’ and there was concern at what might happen if they let the Moroccans in.
A rain of stones was aimed at the police by a group of Moroccans who then decided to close the border. There were no injuries to the Spanish agents.
It seems that dozen or so Moroccans wanted to enter Spain, but the border official would not let any pedestrians though.
