Last update - 22:45 15/04/2008 African migrants arrested while attempting to cross into Israel By The Associated Press Tags: Egypt, Israel  An Egyptian security official says border guards have arrested six African migrants trying to cross illegally into Israel. The official says five men and a woman from Nigeria and the Ivory Coast were caught Tuesday in an area in central Sinai about 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the main Egypt-Gaza crossing. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk to the media. The official says the migrants allegedly paid $500 (315 Euros) to human t Advertisement raffickers for shelter in the Egyptian desert and a ride to the Israeli border. Guards shot at one of the migrants when he tried to escape, causing him to stumble and injure himself lightly, the official said. A hospital official says he was hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds.
