Spain seals road to Gibraltar locking out workers
Spain closed the road to the Rock of Gibraltar at midnight Sunday, leaving about 4,600 Spanish workers including barbers, cobblers, bakers, and others in La Linea disconnected from their jobs inside the British enclave. The La Linea customs post at the base of the 2.5 mile peninsula was shut as part of Franco's plan to cripple Gibraltar economically and press Britain to yield the Rock, which most Gibaltarians oppose.
