More Bombings in North Africa

There have been more bombings in North Africa, this time in the Moroccan city of Casablanca. Two brothers with explosives strapped to their bodies blew themselves up near an American cultural center today. Police arrested three men later, including one with explosives strapped to himself.

These latest bombings follow the deaths of three suspected militants who blew themselves up after being surrounded by police in Casablanca. Also, in nearby Algiers 33 were killed days ago in bombings claimed by al-Qaeda. Both Morocco and Algeria have joined with the United States in the war on terror. No connection has been found between the Casablanca and Algiers bombings, but officials are not ruling it out.
