A migrant thought to be Afghan was shot dead by a Bulgarian border guard after entering the country from Turkey, announced BBC today. The man - who was among a group of about 50 people said to be from Afghanistan - was shot near the town of Sredets in south-eastern Bulgaria.  

"Our border patrol of border guards and police in the area stumbled on 50 offenders, who illegally entered the country," told Bulgarian interior ministry official Georgi Kostov.
