Lille, France--Protesting French sailors were again blocking the Channel Tunnel Tuesday, AFP reporters said, with migrants again using the opportunity to try to break into stationary vehicles.

Around 30 sailors from the French ferry company MyFerryLink burned tyres on the tracks around 300 metres from the entry to the tunnel linking France and Britain and tried to dismantle the rails.
