(Adds details of dead man found on El Tarajal beach in Ceuta)
MADRID, May 20 (Reuters) - Spain s defense minister accused Morocco of blackmail on Thursday over its passivity in the face of a surge in migrant arrivals in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta earlier this week.
The rush of migrants began on Monday when Morocco appeared to loosen border controls, a move widely interpreted, including by the Spanish opposition, as retaliation for Spain s hosting of a Western Sahara independence leader. The Spanish government, however, has sought to keep the two issues separate.
