| Three people involved in Casablanca plot confess | |
| 2003-05-29 | |
| EFL Three people arrested in connection with the terrorist attacks that hit Casablanca on May 16th confessed having trained to carry out suicide operations, said on Wednesday the prosecutor of the Casablanca Court of Appeal. That was fast.
Plastic bottle containing powder and a wick, that's a pretty low rent bomb. Can't even afford C4 and nails. Rachid Jalil was, on his part, one of the 14-member suicide bombers' group, who was supposed to blow himself up at the Jewish social club, said the prosecutor, revealing that the would-be bomber told investigators that the violent explosion he heard in the Positano restaurant, another target of the terrorist plot, dissuaded him from fulfilling his own suicide mission. Chickenshit, no virgins for you. The third suspect, Yassine Lahnech, who belongs to the same group, was actually a reserve suicide bomber for similar operations in other cities of the Kingdom, said the prosecutor, noting that the would-be bomber gave "important clues" on other accomplices. Singing like a bird. The three people also revealed that they had proclaimed Abdelhaq alias "moul sebbat" their emir (leader), owing him thereby submission, the prosecutor told the press announcing that Abdelhaq, who was arrested in Fez on May 26th, died as he was transferred to hospital. The Casablanca prosecutor ordered a post-mortem autopsy that was undertaken by a team of forensic pathologists who concluded "a natural death resulting from an advanced chronic disease." The man suffered from a heart disease and swollen liver. "It was established that this disease results from taking a certain type of pills," he went on. "Unfortunately, his poor health didn't allow interrogators to complete their investigation," said the prosecutor. "Dammit, Abu, I told you not to hit him so hard!" The magistrate also announced that another group of people involved in the spate of terrorist attacks that shook Casablanca claiming 43 lives and dozens of injured, would be referred later on Wednesday to the prosecutor for investigation. Casablanca prosecutors have been busy boys. | |
