It’s the world’s mecca
for suicide bombers. This film explores the roots of
the new jihad in Morocco: how it emerges in a town,
in a neighbourhood, in a family. More suicide
bombers travel to Iraq from Morocco than any other
country. This film reveals why young Moroccan men
become terrorists. They’re bombing civilians not
just in Iraq, but also in Europe and at home in
Morocco. Through the voices of mothers, widows,
sisters and brothers, the film explains the
processes that transform ordinary young men into
suicide bombers, and how their families have to
cope. The film features exclusive interviews with
close relatives of several suicide bombers,
including the widow of Karim Mejjati, a senior
al-Qaeda operative who participated in the 2004
Madrid bombing. Our guide is Abdullah Rami, a
Moroccan university researcher who’s become an
international expert on contemporary jihad. He takes
us through the development of Islamist violence in
Morocco, starting with the attacks in Casablanca in
2003 in which more than 40 people were killed. |
