Two suicide bombers walked into the middle of a street in Casablanca on Saturday and blew themselves up, an Interior Ministry official said. The bombers were killed and a woman was injured, he said.Al Qaeda had taken credit for the major attack last week.
The official initially said the explosion was near an American cultural center in the city, although he wasn't sure exactly how close. He spoke on condition of anonymity, citing ministry policy.
Three suicide bombers also blew themselves up Tuesday in Casablanca and police shot and killed a fourth man who authorities said appeared to be preparing to detonate explosives.
UPDATE:
Major car bomb attacks in Iraq have killed at least 50 in Karbala and Baghdad. The terrorists know that if they manage to succeed in creating spectacular attacks with high body counts, it will be a media win and cast doubt on the ability of the troop surge to work.
