Reuters calls the Islamists in this case “suspected bombers.” Even though one of them actually blew himself up.
You never know. He might have eaten some bad cabbage.
CASABLANCA (Reuters) - A suspected suicide bomber blew himself up after police shot dead another overnight during a chase in a Casablanca slum, Moroccan police sources and witnesses said on Tuesday.
Police cordoned off part of Fida, a poor working-class suburb of Morocco’s economic capital, and were trying to trace a third suspect who escaped the police, residents said.
By mid-morning hundreds of onlookers had gathered near the house as a forensic investigation team sifted through debris on the roof terrace where the man blew himself up.
Residents said bomb disposal officers were also called in case the house was booby-trapped or explosives were stored there. Scuffles broke out briefly between news photographers and soldiers who stopped them getting closer to the house.
