Terrorist's Health Takes Turn for the Worse

May 28, 2003 Posted by John at 8:15 PM

We predicted a couple of weeks ago that the crackdown on al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia and, especially, Morocco would make our own methods look very gentle. Today the prosecutor-general of the appeals court of Casablanca announced that the man who organized the recent bombings in Casablanca was capured on Monday, but unfortunately died in police custody. The prosecutor-general said that the terrorist "suffered from heart disease" and died while being transferred to a hospital. "His health unfortunately did not allow investigators to finish all the elements of the probe," the prosecutor-general told Moroccan television. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of terrorists start encountering health problems in Morocco.
