Border Stampede Leaves Two Dead

Summary


Two Moroccans were trampled to death and around 20 other people injured as a crowd pushed to cross into Morocco from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The cause of the border stampede was not immediately known, but occurred when about 200 people tried to climb steep stairs near a bridge used by thousands of Moroccans who buy merchandise in Ceuta and resell it in Morocco. The injured included four police officers, who were treated for slight injuries. The bridge came into use in 2005, and Spanish police have been calling for it to be closed because of problems handling the large crowds that cross it.
