Migrants allegedly threw 10 others from boat

Two Cameroonian migrants have been arrested for allegedly killing up to 10 others by pushing them from a boat into stormy waters in a fight over a prayer session, Spanish police said yesterday.

A spokesman said the two were arrested after several of the 29 survivors of the December 3 African migrant boat crossing to Spain from Morocco told how a fight broke out when a Nigerian religious minister began praying that the boat would not sink.

He said the Cameroonians blamed the worsening weather on the pastor.
