Huh??…whats next?
Going through the ‘e-papers’ this morning,
i saw an article that shocked me, and will probably cause the same effect to you. Last wednesday, the patrol boat “Rio Duero” from the “Guardia Civil” which is part of the FRONTEX, the external border security agency of the European Union, was literally attacked by illegal immigrants when they where about to be rescued.
The patrol boat intercepted a “cayuco”, a type of boat used by immigrants, near the mauritanian coast heading towards the canary islands and wanted to rescue them and take them back to the coast. At the time when they got near the “cayuco” they were literally attacked by the occupants with !!! MOLOTOV COCTAILS !!! to avoid being rescued.
When the agents decided to get closer by a zodiac, a small inflatable motorized boat, to explain them they only wanted to take them back to the coast, they attacked the boat with sharp objects to avoid the agents intervention.
Afraid of sinking the agents distanced themselves from the “cayuco” which finally got away. Though it was intercepted again by the “Guardia Civil” and arrived at the port of “Arguineguin” where an agent of the “Rio Duero” patrol boat, who traveled here from Mauritania, identified several of the immigrants.
Wow, what u think about that..? What now? Whats next?
Will they be carrying guns along now or what…? Kinda scary…
