BARCELONA (Reuters) - A baby's body that washed up on a Spanish beach near the Mediterranean city of Tarragona a week ago is that of a migrants' daughter from a shipwreck that killed all the 15 people aboard in April, police said on Tuesday.

The eight-month-old was travelling with her parents aboard a dinghy that left Algeria on March 21 and sank off Spain's Balearic islands on April 6.
