Spanish Police Find 36 Immigrants Crammed into Truck

HeadlineJun 20, 2000

Spanish police discovered 36 immigrants crammed into a truck on the same day British authorities found the bodies of 58 Asians in the back of a lorry. The Civil Guard police force said in a statement the immigrants — 32 Moroccans and four Algerians — had not eaten in four days and had little to drink, when the truck was pulled over by a highway patrol late on Monday in southern Málaga province. They were in weak condition, and some had wet clothes, suggesting they had just crossed the Strait of Gibraltar.
