RABAT (Reuters) - A Moroccan who was blown up in a Casablanca Internet cafe was part of a gang of suicide bombers who planned to attack landmarks in Morocco's commercial capital, newspapers reported on Tuesday.
Abdelfattah Raydi, 23, blew up a belt of explosives he was carrying on Sunday night, killing himself and wounding four people after a tussle with the owner of the Web cafe in a suburb that is home to Casablanca's largest slum.
"Five young men recruited by a man in the area of Hay Mohammedi were ready to carry out suicide bombings in Casablanca," said Annass daily, which is considered to be well-informed on security matters.
Assabah newspaper said the blast was accidental. The real target had been Casablanca's police and paramilitary headquarters, restaurants and hotels, the paper said, citing unnamed security agencies.
