Boy Smuggled to Spain in a Suitcase

Two people have been arrested for trying to cross a Spanish-Moroccan border with an eight-year-old hidden inside some luggage. The police have said that the boy was in a "terrible state."
Police in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in northern Africa, found an eight-year-old boy from Ivory Coast hidden in a suitcase in an attempt to smuggle him across the border onto European territory, an official said on Friday. A young woman was arrested after she took the case through a pedestrian crossing between Morocco and Ceuta, said the Civil Guard police force.
"When they put the suitcase through the scanner, the operator noticed something strange, which seemed to be a person inside the case" a Civil Guard spokesman told French news agency AFP, adding that "when it was opened they found a minor, in a terrible state."
