Hundreds of immigrants have tried to break through the border fences around the Spanish enclave of Melilla in North Africa, police sources say
BBC News:
At least 18 people - both police and immigrants - were injured.
About 100 people managed to break through into Spanish territory, where they are being questioned.
Melilla and nearby Ceuta are seen as stepping stones to Europe by African immigrants. Spain is doubling the height of the fences around Melilla.
Three immigrants have died since August trying to enter Melilla.
Many migrants are caught and many drown while attempting to make the sea crossing to Spain - either across the Mediterranean Sea or to the Canary Islands, over the Atlantic Ocean.

Yep, just a bunch of law-abiding "immigrants".
I mean at least the BBC could use a prefix like 'would-be' or something like that.
Very effective material, lots of thanks for this article.
