France: Train carrying Tunisian immigrants from Italy stopped at border

Via AP:
A train carrying Tunisian immigrants from Italy was halted at the French border Sunday in an escalation of a international dispute over the fate of North African migrants fleeing political unrest for refuge in Europe.

A spokesman for the Italian rail company, Maurizio Furia, told The Associated Press in Rome that the train carrying migrants and political activists who support them wasn't being allowed to pass into Menton, France, from the Italian border station of Ventimiglia.
