Morocco sentences 18 for 2003 Casablanca bombings
2009-02-28
Morocco sentenced notorious terrorist Saad al-Hussaini to 15 years in prison on Thursday (February 26th). The Sale court imposed lesser sentences on 17 co-defendants. Nicknamed The Chemist, al-Hussaini is believed to have fashioned the bombs that killed 45 people in Casablanca in 2003. Al-Husseini is also reputed to be the founding leader of the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group (GICM). According to police, his terror network recruited many would-be suicide bombers to Iraq. Spanish authorities also suspect him of involvement in the 2004 Madrid blasts.
