The latest news fom the Moroccan security services is that a fourth member of the alleged terrorist group that the Police was chasing early Tuesday in al Fida neighborhood of Casablanca for alleged involvement in the March 11 bombing, blew himself up late last night, injuring five people.
This brings to four the number of alleged terrorists killed in al Fida neighborhood. A first suspect blew himself up early Tuesday when he was about to be arrested while the second died of injuries after being shot by Police during the manhunt.
A third member blew himself up in the afternoon, killing a policeman and injuring another, according to the same sources.
The two alleged terrorists killed, early morning, during the police chase were later identified as Mohamed Rachidi (aka "Salah" and "Mustapha") and Mohamed Mentala (aka "Warda").

It is sad that with time terror becomes more widespread, crossing borders like thin invisible air. The fight against terror is far from being won at present as terrorists sadly multiply like cancerous cells. But let's hope they won't turn out incurable cancer affecting the body of human values.
This increase in terrorism in the Maghreb's major countries is a terrible shame. I hope Algeria and Morocco will work together to fight it.
I'd be interested in hearing what Moroccans think of the proposal for Western Saharan autonomy.
