A five-month-old baby died in a Spanish airport on Thursday after being placed on a luggage belt that then started moving without its parents noticing, officials said.

The baby was at the baggage claim with its mother -- a U.S. national -- and its Canadian father after a flight from London early Thursday morning in the eastern seaside city of Alicante, an airport spokeswoman told Agence France Presse.

In a forest overlooking the Spanish enclave of Melilla, Diamani nurses fresh wounds from his latest desperate bid, along with hundreds of other African migrants, to scale the heavily guarded border fence.

He describes being attacked by Moroccan security forces, who he says fired rubber bullets and hurled rocks.

About 200 African migrants charged a barbed-wire border fence that separates the Spanish exclave of Melilla from Morocco on Thursday but less than 10 got over, local officials said, the latest in a string of coordinated assaults on the frontier.

The migrants caused light damage to a stretch of around 30 meters (100 feet) of the fence, a territory bordering northern Morocco, Spanish government officials in the territory said in a statement.

Spanish police arrested a British fugitive accused of helping hide a one-eyed killer who gunned down two unarmed policewomen in England last year, officials said on Wednesday.

The suspect, 41-year-old Liverpool native Marvin Edward Herbert, was wanted by Britain for allegedly helping the killer Dale Cregan evade capture, a Spanish police statement said.

Spanish officials on Tuesday were seeking the winner of a 4.7 million-euro ($6.3-million) lottery jackpot after the lucky ticket was found unclaimed.

The slip of paper turned up in La Coruna, northwestern Spain, the city's mayor said. Media reports said the vendor who sold it found it on his counter.

Hundreds of migrants broke through a border fence from Morocco into Spanish territory on Monday, clashing with police in a raid that left seven people injured, officials said.

About 300 migrants before dawn tore down part of the six-meter (20-foot) high fence around Melilla, a Spanish-governed exclave bordering northern Morocco, and about 100 made it through, Spanish government officials in the territory said in a statement.

One migrant died and a dozen more were missing after their boat capsized during the latest desperate seaborne attempt by hundreds in several vessels to reach Spain, officials said Monday.

The man was found dead clinging to a flimsy vessel adrift at sea off the Spanish-governed enclave of Ceuta, bordering Morocco, a Spanish government spokesman in Ceuta said.

Spanish police on Monday arrested the suspected leader of a cell linked to al-Qaida that sent militants to Syria to carry out suicide bombings, the government said.

Police seized Yassin Ahmed Laarbi in the Spanish territory of Ceuta, which borders Morocco, on terrorism charges, the interior ministry said in a statement.

Spain's accumulated public debt soared to a record high at the end of June, the Bank of Spain said Friday, shattering government targets despite a relentless austerity squeeze.

Spain, which boasts the eurozone's fourth largest economy, had racked up an unprecedented public debt of 942.8 billion euros ($1.3 trillion) by mid year, the bank said.

Spanish authorities have seized over 800 kilos (1,700 pounds) of cocaine from a yacht in the Atlantic, smashing a ring that smuggled drugs from Latin America to Europe, the interior ministry said Thursday.

Police arrested 16 people and seized the yacht as well as a catamaran, several vehicles, a gun and cash in the probe, the ministry said in a statement.
