Minister under fire over border deaths

An unknown number - between 23 and 72 according to different reports - were killed supposedly on the Moroccan side of the fence and Spain's Interior minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has always maintained that Spain, therefore, could not have become involved helping the injured.

However, new video evidence from Moroccan border forces, Spain's Guardia Civil and a charity group appears to show that part of the violent assault did take place on Spanish soil.

The Spanish government's position is further complicated as it claims anyone who illegally entered Spain at the time was processed and returned legally to Morocco. But that does not now appear to be the case.

A committee of MPs has seen evidence Spanish forces did not intervene on alleged aggression by Moroccan forces even though the migrants were over the main fence and in a small area by a second fence that is technically part of Spain.

The Interior ministry has said it has no more video evidence to hand over and the images seen are out of context and not a complete picture of all that happened.

The main opposition PP party and the junior parties in the ruling coalition government have called for more investigation.
