Marrakesh cafe bomb 'was set off remotely'

The aftermath of the bomb attack in Marrakesh

The bomb that killed 15 people in a cafe in Marrakesh was set off by a remote-controlled device, Morroco's interior minister has said. Taieb Cherkaoui's comments came as he briefed lawmakers on Thursday's blast at the Argana cafe.

The French interior minister says at least six of the dead were French. British travel writer Peter Moss was also among those killed, along with two Canadians, an Israeli, one Dutch national and two Moroccans. Mr Moss, from London, had worked mainly for the Jewish Chronicle. His family has been informed of his death.
