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. |
