NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) - A boat carrying 400 illegal migrants was finally allowed to dock in Mauritania on Monday, after being stranded for 10 days in international waters off the northwest African country's coast.
The wooden boat, known as the "Marin 1," came ashore at the fishing port of Nouadhibou, 290 miles north of the capital of Nouakchott, said Mohamed Yahya Ould Mohamed Vall, the governor of Nouadhibou.
The migrants are Africans and Asians, including a large number of immigrants from Pakistan, officials said.
