Morocco says probe still going on to identify killers of Moroccan Jew
Morocco, Local, 9/24/2003

A Moroccan official judiciary source said this Tuesday investigation is still going on to identify the killers of Albert Rebibo who was shot on Sept.11 in Casablanca by two hooded individuals.

Denying "as baseless" news reports that the police has arrested some individuals involved in the crime, general prosecutor at the Casablanca court of appeal, Abdallah Alaoui Belghiti, said the police is still investigating to find the two killers or their accomplices and refer them to justice.

Authorities had earlier pointed fingers at "Salafia Jihadia" underground radical group for the Casablanca murder while robbery was found to the motive of the killing of another Moroccan Jew in Meknes (150 km northeast of Rabat). The police said it is investigating with two men involved in the killing in Meknes of Aferyat Elie Ben Abraham, who was stabbed to death. A third individual is actively sought by the police.
