Briton 'among 14 tourists killed by suicide bomber' in explosion at popular Marrakesh cafe

A British tourist was believed to be among 15 killed yesterday in a  terrorist attack in Marrakesh, Morocco’s most popular holiday destination.

Up to 80 victims were injured after a suicide bomber dressed in a Real Madrid shirt set off what is believed to have been a massive nail bomb.

The attack happened after the man ordered a drink in a cafe overlooking the Djemma el-Fna Square in the heart of the ancient city.

The Argana restaurant is hugely popular with British tourists, who used its terrace as a vantage spot to watch snake-charmers, fire-breathers and dancers.
