Morocco increases sentence for Casablanca bomber
2009-06-19
[Maghrebia] A Moroccan appellate court increased the prison sentences for six terrorists convicted of involvement in the deadly 2003 Casablanca bomb attacks, MAP reported on Wednesday (June 17th). The group's leader, Saad al-Housseini, saw his jail term raised to 20 years from 15 years. Nicknamed "The Chemist", al-Houssaini is believed to have fashioned the bombs that killed 45 people in Casablanca. According to police, he and his network also recruited at least 18 Moroccans as would-be suicide bombers in Iraq.
