Last update - 16:05 28/06/2008 Egyptian police kill African man, 7-year-old girl at Israel border By Reuters Tags: migrant workers, Africa  Egyptian police shot and killed two African migrants, including a seven-year-old Sudanese girl, as they tried to cross the border into Israel on Saturday, security and hospital sources said. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the security sources said an Egyptian patrol opened fire on the migrants to stop them getting across the border south of the Rafah crossing. Advertisement They added that seven other African migrants had been detained, including the dead child's mother. Their deaths bring to 16 the number of migrants killed at the border this year. Hospital sources said the other victim was an unidentified African in his thirties, killed by a gunshot wound to his back. Egypt has pursued a crackdown on African migrants that has seen up to 1,000 Eritrean asylum seekers deported since June 11, despite UN objections.
