Terror blasts rock Casablanca
At least 39 people have been killed in suicide bomb attacks in Morocco's largest city, Casablanca, according to latest reports from the city. Dozens of others were injured in the attacks on Friday night, which targeted a Jewish community centre, a Spanish restaurant and social club, a hotel and the Belgian consulate. Five explosions occurred within 30 minutes of each other. A Moroccan Government official said all the blasts were triggered by suicide bombers carrying explosives. Interior Minister Mustapha Sahel said the attacks "bear the hallmark of international terrorism", adding that 10 suicide bombers were among those killed.
