Casablanca bombing suspect arrested by German police

German police have arrested a man in connection with a deadly suicide bombing in Casablanca in 2003.

The attack on the Moroccan city left 45 people dead, including the 12 bombers, and many injured.

The suspect, reported to be a 37-year-old French national of Moroccan origin, was detained at Munich airport after Rabat issued an international arrest warrant.

Deadly bus crash in south Morocco

At least 42 people have been killed and more than 20 injured after a bus plunged into a ravine in southern Morocco, officials say. 

More than 4,000 people died in road accidents in Morocco last year, according to the transport ministry - an increase of 11.6% on the previous year.

Observations

of Red Wine are right on. The statement that 'Morocco has been facing severe economic problems' is less than accurate. Morocco is better off in many ways than most Middle East countries despite lack of oil or massive natural resources, and has weathered financial crisis period rather well. RE prices have been stable and general inflation under control.

The problem is extensive corruption that has become a fact of life, and persistent unemployment. The king is quite popular by all accounts but reform is expected and has been more meaningful, even if slow, than others for several years now. The problem is the structure of ruling system that has inheritted ungly and control habits from Hassan II.

This is a perfect opening for M VI to clean up garbage from his dad's time and indeed consolidate power from several families in the background for more substancial change. I hope he is astute enough, not to miss this golden opportunity. They are a blessed nation. No oil. And no one to give them b.s. interpretation of the folly (I mean holly) book.

soltan mohamad.

 
Unlike that idiot Ghadafi in Libya, Sultan mohamad does not call himself KING OF KING.

There was only one King deserving that title, His Royal Highness Korush the Great King of Kings, King of Persia, period.

سخنرانی سلطان محمد ششم مغرب زمین را دیدیم.

ایشان محکم صحبت کردند اما لرزش‌های عصبی تارهای صوتی ایشان مکرّر بود! ۲ بار هم کلمات را ناقص ادا کردند.

نوشتار از روی دستپاچگی نبود ،مشخص بود که نویسنده گان منظور سلطان را به خوبی‌ بیان کرده اند با این حال از یک سری مطالب سرباز زده شد، پس تکلیف صحرا چه میشود؟ مردمان صحرا چه ؟! تکلیف آزادی روزنامه نگاران چه میشود؟ سلطان تنها اشاره یی کوتاه به دموکراسی کردند و آنرا جوری معنا کردند که ما انگاری از گرفتاریهای سرزمین مغرب بی‌ خبریم !

به هر حال باز جلوی ضرر را از جا گیری منفعت است ،مغربیان سلطان را دوست دارند اما ایشان از لطف و محبت مردم نباید سوی استفاده کنند... رشوه خواری و بیکاری مغرب را از پا درآورده است.

امیدواریم که مرحمتی شود و دولت جدید خدمت کند و از این موقعیت استفاده کنند که صبر مردم اندازه دارد.

با سپاس از داریوش خان.
