a very sad first

I never thought something like this could happen in Morocco, but it has: At Least 20 Die in Casablanca Blasts. One bomb was near a synagogue, one near the Belgian consulate, one near the Casa de Espana, a great restaurant that had become somewhat of a landmark. I actually had dinner there once many years ago.
I wonder whether this will finally turn whatever tide of support the fundamentalist fringe has at the moment in the country. Update from the BBC.

    Very sad news. You’re right, this is a turning point. I hope it’s for the better, but right now it’s hard to say.

    Thanks Jonathan. My family is here, but those of my relatives who live in Morocco are fine.
