Talked to our family in Marrakech - one channel is reporting it was a gas leak and one that it was a planted explosive. Official reports are saying it was a bomb. I haven't heard anything about who might have been responsible though rumors of a Polisario group or an al Qaeda cell out of Belgium. There was also mention that In the beginning of the month there was a failed AQIM plot that was intercepted.

We always go there when in Marrakech. I've been there a thousand times. My condolences for the dead and their families.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families of the bombing.

So tragic - really hits home. This is Wadi and me at Argana the last time we were in Marrakech. No doubt the beautiful tiling is now in smithereens.

I was there about 4 days in a row three weeks ago.

It's shocking. Thank God everyone I know is okay.... wow.

Between that and the tornadoes, today has been a rather somber, shocking day.

Prayers to all, in Kech and in Alabama...
