#1 Police reportedly carried out the operation with the aid of counter-terrorism experts with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Two thoughts:

200 kg seems like and awful lot of explosives, and
The FBI seem to be involved in a surprising (to me) number of these overseas successes.

#2 I'm shocked, shocked, that Islamists would commit acts of violence.

#3 Hat tip to the Casablanca Chief of Police and the FBI Legat embassy weenies. Sticking a quarter in the juke box for those unlucky GICM lads:

Scratch, scratch, static....

You must remember this / A kiss is still a kiss / A sigh is just a sigh / The fundamental things apply / As time goes by. / And when two lovers woo, / They still say, "I love you" / On that you can rely / No matter what the future brings-.................

#4 "Rabat - Moroccan police investigating a suicide bombing in a Casablanca cybercafe"

The proprietor of the cafe helped catch the terrorists didnt he?

Perhaps the proprietor was an old hand at antiterrorism, from Israel to Spain, whod tried to leave his past behind him by going to ... Casablanca.
