| Kenitra jailbreak attempt foiled by guards |
| 2010-03-11 |
| [Maghrebia] Guards at Morocco's high-security Kenitra prison on Tuesday (March 9th) thwarted an attempted escape by ten convicted Salafia Jihadia terror cell members, MAP reported. The inmates reportedly planned to use the sewage system to reach the yard and then scale the wall by using ropes made of rugs and sheets. In 2008, a jailbreak at the same prison attracted widespread attention from Maghreb bloggers. Nine Moroccans convicted for the deadly 2003 Casablanca bombings pulled off an unprecedented escape in a hand-dug tunnel some 25 metres long and 1 metre wide. All were later arrested. |
