RABAT, Morocco (AP) - A court Friday postponed the trial of 19 Moroccans who face charges of involvement in an al-Qaida-linked terrorist group that is blamed for the 2003 attacks in Casablanca that killed 45 people, including 12 suicide bombers.
Hearings were not due to start again until June 16 to give some defendants time for medical exams, court officials said. Proceedings originally opened in September.
Prosecutors say the men formed an armed cell of Salafiya Jihadiya, a North African terrorist group that seeks to overthrow Morocco's monarchy and replace it with Islamic rule.
