LILLE/LONDON (Reuters) - Around 200 migrants tried to get into the Channel Tunnel from the French side overnight, clashing with staff and police and forcing a temporary suspension of rail services, a spokesman for Eurotunnel said. Rail services resumed on Saturday morning but traffic was slow due to continued safety checks, the company said. The incident was the latest in a series involving migrants who are camped around the northern French port of Calais in the hope of reaching Britain.
