Sunday's Suicide blast in Casablanca

On Sunday, a suicide bomber on Sunday detonated explosives in an internet cafe, killing himself and injuring four people in Casablanca. Sunday was the third anniversary of train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people.

According to the latest reports, two men entered the cafe at 10 p.m. to consult extremist websites. A quarrel broke out between them and the son of the manager, and a bomb hidden under the clothes of one of them exploded, killing the bomber.

The manager's son and two clients were injured. The bomber's companion fled with injuries, but was arrested soon after and taken to hospital.

The bombing occurred in Sidi Moumen neighborhood, home to the suicide bombers who killed 45 people in Casablanca in 2003, including the 12 suicide bombers.

Moroccan security services, who had been on a high alert amid reports of possible terror threats, have been cracking down on Islamic fundamentalist groups ever since this terror attack. Over 3,000 people have reportedly been arrested and hundreds are still detained after being convicted of terrorism charges.
