Confusion over who fired shots at immigrants

Spanish and Moroccan officials had no comment on reports today that their respective security forces were responsible for shooting at five immigrants who were killed when hundreds rushed a barrier at one of its two enclaves on the northern Morocco coast.

“There is no comment for the moment. There is an investigation and we’re awaiting the forensic report. Until we get that it would be a mistake to say anything,” said a spokesman for the Interior Ministry in Ceuta, where the border charge took place yesterday.
