MELILLA, Spain (AP) — Spanish and Moroccan police thwarted a fresh attempt Thursday by at least 100 African migrants to scale border fences and enter the Spanish enclave of Melilla. At least 25 migrants, many with bloody bare feet, clung to the tops of fences for hours.

After a seven hour standoff, authorities coaxed most of the immigrants down from the fence, gave them water and turned them over to Moroccan police.
