Migrants have attempted to cross from Morocco into Ceuta (AP)At least 18 migrants have died trying to reach the Spanish territory of Ceuta after thousands of people breached the frontier with Morocco and poured in. Ahmed Karim, a 33-year old Moroccan, said he had crossed into Ceuta because of the lack of jobs in his country. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is expected to join interior minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska in a visit to Ceuta on Friday. To reach Ceuta, located on the northern African coast, migrants often swim from the Moroccan town of Fnideq, covering about three miles to reach Spanish territory. Like Ceuta, Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast.
