Al Haski is not the first person to be probed in connection with both Madrid and Casablanca bombings. Another Moroccan suspect in the 2004 Madrid bombings, Saad Housseini, was given a 15-year jail sentence last week by a Rabat court for his role in the Casablanca attacks Haski, 41, was extradited to Morocco from Spain, where he was already serving a 13-year-jail term for leading an armed group involved in the Madrid train bombings which killed 191 people. Moroccan lawyers said Haski would serve the sentence imposed in Morocco and then be extradited to Spain to complete his 13-year-sentence there. Housseini, a chemistry graduate, was suspected of having made the Madrid bombs. Originally from the Moroccan city of Meknes, he visited Afghanistan in 2002. He was questioned by police upon his return that same year and released without charge. | |

#1 Very unusual. Under King Hassan II they would save the expense of trial and just put a bullet between his eyes and drop him off in some souk. |
