21 Harraga intercepted in the West

The Algerian coast guard intercepted Friday 21 candidates to illegal emigration (Harraga) in Bouzedjar, near Oran, the great metropolis of the west, they said in a statement Saturday.

•     These Algerian "Harraga" aged 20 to 34, were transferred to Oran to undergo a medical examination, adds the communiqué which does not specify the conditions for their interception.
  
      In April, the sea had rejected in this region the bodies of five nationals from African countries, who had failed in their attempt to cross the Mediterranean, according to the police.
