Morocco says it has arrested three suspects in connection with last week's suicide attacks in Casablanca and has published the names of four more wanted men. Moroccan authorities say a small Islamic group, Assirat al-Moustaquim (The Righteous Path), is behind the five almost simultaneous bombings on May 16. The bombings killed 43 people, including several Westerners. The official MAP news agency quotes a senior Interior Ministry official as saying the three men in custody had been on a list of nine suspects announced on Wednesday. MAP also says the Government has announced the names of four more suspects and posted the pictures of the men on its website. Morocco, a staunch US ally, says the young suicide bombers who carried out the attacks were linked to "international terrorism". It has arrested dozens of suspects.
