The trial begins for accused Marrakech bombers
Seven suspects have gone on trial for the April 28 bombing of a Marrakech tourist cafe, according to the AP. The court has delayed further proceedings until August 18 to give both sides more time to prepare. The bombing killed 17 people, including a number of tourists, in one of the worst terrorist acts ever to hit Morocco. The judge in the case has refused to grant bail, and lawyers for the the accused compare conditions in the prison to those at Guantanamo Bay.
