RABAT: The bodies of 11 African migrants were found by the Moroccan navy on Tuesday after their boat capsized in the Atlantic Ocean, the official MAP news agency said.

Local officials told MAP that a vessel carrying the migrants overturned around 140 kilometres south of Boujdour in Western Sahara after encountering bad weather. They said the migrants were trying to reach Spain’s Canary Islands.
