CASABLANCA
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco and is
one of the largest, most signicant cities in Africa,
with a population of approximately four million
people. The city of Casablanca has a long history
of political and cultural changes. At different
points in time it has been colonised and ruled over
by Berber, Roman, Arab, Portuguese, Spanish,
French, British and Moroccan regimes. Its
location as a port city made it an ideal target for
conquest by all these various regimes during its
early history.
The area that now constitutes the city of
Casablanca was originally settled in by the
Berbers aroundabout the 10th century BC, then
used as a port by the Phoenicians and then the
Romans for centuries before becoming a safe
haven for pirates in the early 15th century. It was
then attacked, destroyed and rebuilt by the
Portuguese and named Casabranca, Portuguese
for White House.

CASABLANCA BOMBINGS
A series of suicide bombings took place in 2003 in
Casablanca which resulted in the deaths of 45
people. These were the deadliest attacks that the
country has ever seen and were the work of
extremists living in a poor suburb of the city.
The bombers targeted the Hotel Farah, a Jewish
cemetery, a Jewish community centre, a
Jewish-owned Italian restaurant and the Belgian
consulate nearby. Several police ofcers and
bystanders were killed or injured in these attacks,
yet the greatest loss of life came from the initial
attack on the Casa de Espana restaurant which
killed 20 people.
The Casa de Espana restaurant was located on
the same street as the Spanish Chamber of
Commerce and despite a focus on locations
populated by government buildings, it was
ordinary citizens that were killed and injured in
these attacks. A few years later there was another
set of bombings within the Moroccan capital
which caused signicant damage and injury
throughout the city. It also resulted in the death of
a local police ofcer in addition to the injuries
sustained by bystanders.
Both attacks prompted huge public outcry, with
tens of thousands marching in the streets of
Casablanca chanting slogans such as "Say No to
Terrorism," "Down with Hate" and "United
against Terrorism.
