Police arrested a man, Youssef Mousaod, on Thursday in connection with deadly terrorist bombings earlier in the week.
Previously… other members of the group cornered by police have blown themselves up to escape arrest, using homemade explosive belts police say they wore whenever going out in public.

The Sunday Times had more on the protest in Casablanca:
“We denounce these terrorist acts and our outrage reflects that of the entire Moroccan people across the political spectrum,” Saad Eddine Othami, head of the Justice and Development party, an Islamist grouping, told AFP.
“There has to be a global fight against terrorism on the cultural, religious, social, political and security fronts,” he said.
Seven suicide bombers have either been blown up in attacks or were killed between March 11 and April 10 in Casablanca, raising fears that the country was becoming a hotbed of Islamic extremism.
Some 2,000 people attended the rally, shouting slogans such as “Yes to Islam, no to the forces of evil,” and “Terrorists, Morocco does not back you.”
They also held banners saying: “No to terrorism, no to violence.”
