Casablanca bombings remembered in Morocco
http://www.euronews.com/ Morocco's 21st century day of terror is remembered every May 16. It is 10 years since Casablanca was rocked by five explosions in twenty minutes. They killed 45 people and injured over 100, the country's worst-ever terrorist attack.
Several NGOs got together in the city on Thursday to call for peace and unity to counter extremist ideologies.
"We are still living in this painful life; we ask all Muslims in Morocco to become a model for Arab and Muslim world and to not participate
in terrorism," said victim Mohammed Karam.
In Rabat the 10th anniversary was marked by Salafists who say that ever since the bombings they have been persecuted and imprisoned.

Saudi Arabia was also the target of terrorists when in May a housing complex used by Americans working in Riyadh was hit by a truck bombing. Over 90 people were killed in the attack described as "terrorism at its worst" by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell during a visit to the site. The attack was again linked to the al-Qaida network.

Casablanca art centre remembers tragedy of 2003 suicide bombings
(17 May 2015) LEAD-IN:
Some big names in the Moroccan and French arts scene are trying to change the image of a part of Casablanca which was affected by the city's 2003 terrorist attack, which killed 45 people.
The 14 bombers - 12 of whom died in the May 16 2003 explosions - all came from the poor suburb of Sidi Moumen.
STORY-LINE:
Most of these children would have been toddlers when Morocco suffered its deadliest ever terrorist attack.
They're dancing at a commemorative event called 'Creative Explosion'.
Much has changed in this notoriously poor suburb since 2003, when it was accused of being a breeding ground for suicide bombers.
Many of the slums that characterised the area have been demolished - their residents moved to housing projects nearby and further afield.

Marrakesh cafe 'suicide bombing' kills 15 people
A massive explosion ripped through a busy cafe in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Thursday, killing at least 15 people and wounding as many as 20 others.
The Argana restaurant on Jamaa el-Fnaa square is popular with tourists and 10 foreigners have been confirmed dead.
Authorities suspect a suicide bombing after nails were found in one of the dead bodies.
If proved to be the work of Islamic militants, it would be Morocco's biggest terrorist attack since suicide bombings killed 45 people in Casablanca eight years ago.

The attacks were on Western or Jewish targets; the first carried out in Morocco by Moroccans. Six European lives were lost in total, and the country was shocked by the indiscriminate carnage of the suicide bombers.

STORYLINE:
Terrorists set off a string of deadly blasts in the heart of the Moroccan city of Casablanca on Saturday, killing dozens and damaging a major downtown hotel, a Jewish community centre and cemetery, the Belgian Consulate, and a Spanish night club.
On Saturday afternoon, the official Moroccan news agency MAP said the attacks killed 41 people -- about 10 of them terrorists who had been involved in the attack.
MAP said about 100 people were injured, and that three suspects, all Moroccans, had been arrested on Friday night.
Spanish National Radio reported that 15 people had died in the attack on the Spanish restaurant, making it the bloodiest of the five attacks.
Most of the blast victims apparently were Moroccans. However, six foreigners - two Spaniards, two Italians and two French - also were killed, according to Said Ouhalia, medical chief at Azerroes Hospital.
A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that investigations had shown that all the five bomb blasts involved suicide bombings, and that car bombs had not been used.
On Saturday the authorities conducted a controlled-explosion at the damaged hotel of a suitcase, reported by Moroccan television station 2M to contain explosive devices.
Morocco's interior minister said the attacks had been carried out by suicide bombers and international terrorists.
He did not name the al-Qaida terrorist network, but cities across the globe had been bracing for the possibility of attacks the group.

(31 Dec 2003) TERRORISM
SAUDI ARABIA - BOMB
Saudi Arabia was also the target of terrorists when in May a housing complex used by Americans working in Riyadh was hit by a truck bombing. Over 90 people were killed in the attack described as "terrorism at its worst" by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell during a visit to the site. The attack was again linked to the al-Qaida network.

MOROCCO - BOMBS
A series of terrorist attacks occurred in Casablanca in May, with bombs going off at a number of sites in the city including a Jewish Community Centre and the Belgian consulate. Over 40 people were killed, 13 of whom were believed to be the suicide bombers. In the aftermath, authorities rounded up members of local extremist Islamic groups Salafia Jihadia and Attakfir wal Hijra in connection with the blasts. Again, al-Qaida were suspected of involvement.

(17 May 2015) LEAD-IN:
Some big names in the Moroccan and French arts scene are trying to change the image of a part of Casablanca which was affected by the city's 2003 terrorist attack, which killed 45 people.
The 14 bombers - 12 of whom died in the May 16 2003 explosions - all came from the poor suburb of Sidi Moumen.
STORY-LINE:
Most of these children would have been toddlers when Morocco suffered its deadliest ever terrorist attack.
They're dancing at a commemorative event called 'Creative Explosion'.
Much has changed in this notoriously poor suburb since 2003, when it was accused of being a breeding ground for suicide bombers.
Many of the slums that characterised the area have been demolished - their residents moved to housing projects nearby and further afield.
A new tramline links the suburb with the rest of the city.
But poverty remains, often hidden behind walls and littered with open sewers and families crammed into hovels.
"We are still outcasts, nothing has changed for us here since back then (2003)," says slum area resident, Fatima Ratbi.
Sidi Moumen has struggled to shake off the notoriety it acquired when 14 of its sons attacked a range of targets across the city, including Spanish and Italian restaurants and a Jewish community centre.
A fictional account of how the bombers came to be radicalised was told in the 2011 film 'Horses of God' by director Nabil Ayouch.
It was based on the book of the same name by Moroccan artist and author Mahi Binebine.
After the film's international success, the pair founded the 'Stars of Sidi Moumen' cultural centre in 2014 in collaboration with local authorities, to help the area regain its confidence.
Soumia Errrahmani works at the cultural centre and says the goal is to change the idea that people have of these children.
"These kids are marginalised and after the 16th of May 2003 everyone was pointing fingers at them. People said they are the offspring of the May 16 terrorists, but these kids have nothing at all to do with all that and they are getting accused despite being totally innocent."
Film director Ayouch is pleased with the centre's success, with hundreds of children and adults enjoying its facilities every week.
"A place like this, I don't want it just to be a place for communicating with the people of Sidi Moumen, I want the people from across Casablanca to come and appreciate this talent that we have here in the heart of Sidi Moumen," he says.
Saturday's well-attended event saw artists and musicians from France visit to host workshops for the children of the area.
The French Embassy supported the event which included a visit from children's book author and illustrator Antoine Guillope.
"I think that it is important when you live in a neighbourhood where you don't necessarily have the possibility of leaving, that art comes in, so as to allow you to discover new things," he says.
An open debate was held in the afternoon to discuss the work of the centre and the local issues.
Despite mass arrests and crackdowns on religious groups in the area, a series of suicide bombings in 2007 was also linked to the Sidi Moumen neighbourhood.
Binebine hopes to lead children away from a future of violence.
"We say to them (children), (compared to) that religious mafia which is intoxicating you over there, here we have a much nicer alternative, an alternative of life, a culture of living, not a culture of death and so, there you have it. The attacks of 2003 produced this culture of death which we want to banish from this place."

A massive explosion ripped through a busy cafe in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Thursday, killing at least 15 people and wounding as many as 20 others.
The Argana restaurant on Jamaa el-Fnaa square is popular with tourists and 10 foreigners have been confirmed dead.
Authorities suspect a suicide bombing after nails were found in one of the dead bodies.
If proved to be the work of Islamic militants, it would be Morocco's biggest terrorist attack since suicide bombings killed 45 people in Casablanca eight years ago.
