A week after the attack in Marrakesh, which has made sixteen people, including eight French, the investigation seems to grow with the identification of two possible suspects. However, no arrests have yet been held. "The investigation is conducted in a scientific manner and with full legal guarantees, but no one has been arrested," he said Thursday, May 5 at the close of an official judicial inquiry, denying a report from the radio station Europe 1, which announced Wednesday that the suspects had been arrested in Morocco and was interrogated by Moroccan intelligence services.
A security source confirmed there had been no arrest. However, several people were interviewed and released, say investigators, quoted by the Moroccan news agency MAP, which does not give any details on the number of people involved or the date on which they were interviewed. On Wednesday, the French foreign minister, Alain Juppe, announced that the Moroccan authorities had identified two possible suspects.
The Moroccan authorities have neither confirmed nor denied this information. Some sketches were drawn by stories of tourists, but they have not yet been made public. The first is a young man with short hair and clean shaven, which was on the terrace floor coffee Argana, on the Jamaa el-Fna, the Mecca of tourism in Marrakech, just before the attack, provided two large bags that could contain explosives.
The second is that of another man who was out of coffee and appeared agitated. A source close to the investigation, a Moroccan man known services, presented as having links with al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), was identified by witnesses through one of the sketches . This man has been arrested in Madrid in 2007 and sentenced to three years in prison in Morocco for "preparation of terrorist acts." It has recently been released, but is wanted by police on suspicion of having killed a Moroccan man and wounded a French tourist in a tourist cafe in Tangier, mid-April.
But a police source interviewed by the track felt that this was "unlikely," noting that the perpetrator of Tangier cafe "does not fit the profile. If the attack has still not been claimed, a source familiar with the matter would, however, confirmed to Le Figaro on Wednesday that the suspects belong to the movement AQIM (al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb), as the Moroccan authorities on suspicion .
The newspaper said the bomb triggered remotely by telephone, would bear the signature of AQIM. Paris has deployed a dozen investigators from the DCRI (cons-French spy), the Central Directorate of Judicial Police (DCPJ) and Forensic Science (PTS).
