France detains 15 in raid over Casablanca blast
Reuters, Paris
French police detained 15 people in a raid yesterday, including a number of people suspected of having links with suicide bomb attacks last year in Morocco, judicial sources said. They said the 15 were seized in a Paris suburb and some were suspected of having links with Moroccan Islamic groups. "Fifteen people have been detained," an Interior Ministry spokesman said but gave no other details. Forty-five people were killed, including the suicide bombers, in almost simultaneous attacks in Casablanca on May 16 last year. The judicial sources said the raid was ordered as part of an investigation into the death of a Frenchman in the suicide bombings in Casablanca.
