Moroccan authorities have intercepted more than 100 migrants attempting to cross into the Spanish-controlled North African enclave of Ceuta, as security was tightened along the border following a recent mass arrival.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security sources said 111 people were detained in and around the northern Moroccan town of Fnideq, around three kilometres from the Ceuta border, with most of those intercepted reportedly coming from sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moroccan police, including riot units, were deployed across the area and reportedly used tear gas to disperse groups of migrants who had gathered on hills near the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
