700 on Trial for Morocco Suicide Bombings
Seven hundred people will go on trial in Morocco next week in connection with the suicide bomb attacks that killed 44 people two months ago, the government said Thursday. The trials, the scale of which astonished human rights groups, will take place in Rabat and in Casablanca, where 12 suicide bombers blew themselves up in five almost simultaneous blasts on May 16. "The trials will involve 700 suspects...some are directly linked to the attacks...others belonged to groups which have been preparing acts of violence in the country," Mohamed Bouzoubaa, the justice minister, said on state television.
