Three suspects with links to al-Qaeda have been tossed in the clink for last week's deadly kaboom on a café in Marrakesh.
The alleged ringleader, who made the two bombs planted in the Argana café in Jamaa el-Fna square last week had been expelled from Portugal, Syria and Libya while trying to get to Iraq and Chechnya to fight alongside Islamic cut-thoats.
"He tried several times to reach hotbeds of terrorism but he failed," said Tajeb Cherkaoui, the Moroccan Interior Minister, on Friday.
Pathetic. The Brave Lion of Islam, unwanted by the real jihadis. | The suspect then decided to carry out a "big terrorist act" in Morocco.
And now he'll spend the rest of his life as the guest of the king of Morocco, the cleverboots. |
