Moroccan security forces have killed what they described as a militant, and another blew himself up during a dawn raid in Casablanca.
The pair were killed in a dawn raid in the el Fida district of the port city as part of an operation to find suspects in an 11 March bomb explosion in an Internet cafe. Police said both were carrying explosives.
Hours later, a third suicide bomber blew himself up close to where the raid took place.
In March, the alleged leader of a suicide bomber squad detonated his explosives belt to stop police arresting him.
Another suspected member of the group and three customers in the café were injured.
Police believe the bombers were in the café to get instructions by email.
More than 40 suspected militants have been arrested in Morocco since then.
