The Spanish government on Tuesday declassified intelligence reports about July's migrant surge into Ceuta in a bid to quell doubts about what it knew beforehand and Morocco's potential role.

More than 70,000 migrants streamed into Spain's small north African territory from neighbouring Morocco on July 30 and 31, raising questions about how the unprecedented and deadly rush could have happened.

The leftist government has maintained it received no prior warning of the scale of the incident and says no "solid proof" exists to conclude Morocco planned it.

But doubts have swirled over the possible role of Rabat, which claims sovereignty over Ceuta and Spain's other north African territory of Melilla.
