ASYLUM SEEKERS RUN ON THE RAILWAY AT CHANNEL TUNNEL.
Asylum seekers run on the railway just in front of the south tunnel of
channel tunnel entry in Coquelles December 26, 2001. About 150 refugees
stormed past French security guards at the Channel tunnel entrance to
try to reach Britain overnight, halting passenger and freight train
traffic. British police, who joined the hunt with sniffer dogs, said
the French had tracked down and detained all the refugees. "None of
them got into Britain," said a police spokesman. REUTERS/Pascal
