Casablanca Bomb Convicts Escape
The BBC reports that “nine people convicted of involvement with suicide bombings in Casablanca have escaped from a Moroccan prison.” The country’s Justice Ministry told state media that “[p]rison authorities at Kenitra, 40km (25 miles) north of the capital, Rabat, noticed the escape on Monday morning.”
This escape was either executed in a unbelievably effective manner, or some people in the prison (or outside it, but in important positions) let them escape. Back in “December 2007, drugs baron Mohammad Ouazzani escaped from the same jail.” Later eight prison guards were convicted of helping him. It seems to me that it’s likely that someone helped these terrorists as well.
Most of the men were serving life sentences for involvement in the bombings in Casablanca which killed 45 people (that’s including 12 bombers) and wounded many others.

Yeah, I’ll just bet it was a tragic accident that 9 dangerous terrorists managed to all escape. Of course they escaped as a group, nothing suspicious about that noooo…
Are you surprised? Then you don’t know the extent of corruption in Morocco…
