The Moroccan Public Prosecutor’s Office is also investigating suspected terrorism. A 31-year-old suspect has already been arrested in nearby Agadir.
The arrested man also tried to kill a Belgian woman in Agadir with a stabbing weapon on Saturday, according to the Moroccan police. The Belgian was injured in a clinic, but is not in mortal danger. After the attack on the French woman, the French embassy called on tourists to be careful when traveling and in public places in Morocco.
