Buses re-routed to avoid stonings

ALGECIRAS (Agencies/Photo: EuropaSur) Local bus companies are fed up with a series of stonings in the El Saladillo area of Algeciras, the latest of which took place last Saturday. They have agreed to miss out that section of the N-351, which will add an average of ten minutes to their schedule. Such are their concerns that at a press conference yesterday, they refused to name the new route because "you never know what the vandals will do next," according to one company manager. They accuse the National and Local police of 'passing the buck', adding that despite many calls and that the stonings happen in a specific place at specific times, they have yet to see either police forces' vehicles anywhere near these spots.
