Terror strike rattles Morocco

March 13, 2007

Fear of terrorist attacks is growing in Morocco as another suicide bomber blew himself up at the weekend, wounding four other people at a cybercafe in Casablanca. The toll is light compared to attacks that rocked the city in 2003, leaving 45 people dead. How to improve security is likely to be a key issue in legislative elections due later this year. In the meantime, Moroccans are left to deal with fears as best they can. This report looks at how violence rooted in radical Islamism affects everyday life in Morocco.
