Body found in Spain's North Africa waters likely brings migrant drownings to 13

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Civil Guard said on Saturday it had found a body in its waters off the North African coast which could be that of a migrant, likely raising to 13 the number of people who drowned trying to swim to its Ceuta enclave from Morocco last week.

The migrants were part of group of 200 who tried to cross the border on February 6, some attempting to climb the fortified frontier fence while others jumped into the sea to swim around a man-made breakwater separating Moroccan and Spanish waters.
