Marrakech explosion
A quick note, for those who know me well, I wasn't in Marrakech at the time: Explosion hits cafe in Morocco, 14 dead - Top Stories - Wire - Macon.com
A massive explosion ripped through a cafe popular among tourists in the Moroccan city of Marrakech on Thursday, killing 14 people including foreigners and wounding 20 in what the government called a criminal act.
If confirmed as terrorism, the blast in the iconic Djemma el-Fna square would be Morocco's deadliest bombing in eight years.
Early reports have this as a gas cannister explosion, which is not implausible. However, the Ministry of Interior statement just out calling it a criminal act is an almost confirmation that this was terrorism (insofar as if there was any way it was not, they would rather prefer that, given confirmation will truly fuck tourism).
