A potpourri of charges. "Morocco jails 15 people convicted of terror links," from Agence France-Presse:
RABAT: Morocco's anti-terrorist tribunal has jailed 15 Islamists for between one and four years in three separate cases on conviction of terrorist activity or connections, the MAP news agency reported Friday. The special court in Sale near Rabat sentenced seven people late on Thursday to between one and two years in prison after the prosecution accused them of links to May 2003 attacks in Casablanca which killed 45 people, including 12 suicide bombers. Another group of seven were jailed for four years each after being found guilty of receiving paramilitary training with Algeria's extremist Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which was in January renamed the Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Those seven, who included a former resident in Belgium and two ex-students in Syria, allegedly wanted to go to Iraq to fight a "holy war." The 15th case concerned Jawad Tarmil, a Moroccan expelled from Algeria, who was accused of GSPC membership and jailed for two years for forming a criminal group, terrorist activity and serious breaches of public order, MAP reported.
"Youths" will be "youths", I guess. The age old adage still pertains.
Why not investigate on their relevancy to the jihad?
Bah. It is simply easier to funnel them through the "catch and release" system, is it not?
The Global Jihad soldiers on... And somewhere or other struggles on in the Way of Allah.. Here, a seemingly random killing... There, a massacre... Elsewhere, an assasination, a bombing, kidnapping, ramsom, extortion, robbery, jizya shakedown or pious zakat endowment, tax on opium, or other bankroll... Another martyrdom, another attack on relief/aid workers, civil institutions, police, schools... And on... And on...
Youts will be Youts. How Lovely!

...I will wager he regularly attends a mosque....
"the prosecution accused them of links to May 2003 attacks in Casablanca which killed 45 people, including 12 suicide bombers."
I think they should be let off on the charge of killing the suicide bombers.
Which reminds me of something some people are wondering about, including myself. When they count the dead from 9/11, do they count the filthy savages who committed the crime? Lord, I hope not!
