Terrorist attacks target morocco's tolerance and openness, Jewish figures
Morocco, Politics, 5/20/2003

The string of five terrorist attacks that rocked Casablanca on Friday are targeting Morocco's tolerance and openness, said Serge Berdugo, President of Morocco's Jewish Community.

The Moroccan Jewry leader, a former tourism minister, told on Sunday French weekly "Le Journal du Dimanche" the attacks aim to hit three classic targets: foreigners, tourists and Jews.

"Since the attacks, I have been receiving messages of sympathy because people know it is the symbol of Morocco as a tolerant and open country that was hit," he went on.

In an earlier statement to the Moroccan second TV channel 2M, Berdugo underlined that terrorists will not succeed in tarnishing Morocco's reputation as a stable and safe haven of peace, tolerance and co-existence.
