Three men blow themselves up to avoid capture Fourth gunned down after brandishing sabre Police and civilians killed and hurt in blasts
THREE bombing suspects have blown themselves up after a police raid on a house in a Casablanca slum in which a fourth man was shot dead.
The carnage began when police launched a dawn operation in the el Fida district of the Moroccan city looking for suspects involved in a bomb attack last month on an internet cafe.
They raided a house and confronted two of the four men. One was shot dead by the police and the other blew himself up after he was trapped on a roof terrace.
Hours later, a police inspector died when a third man blew himself up in the same district.
Two other police officers and a child were also hurt, according to media on the scene.
Then the fourth suspect blew himself up in a crowd, a police source said.
The men had apparently started wearing the belts all the time to stop security forces taking them alive.
Warning shot
The initial confrontation began when one of the suspects came out of the house armed with a sabre and wearing his explosives.
"The police fired a warning shot, which he failed to obey. They then fired a second shot before he could activate the explosives he was carrying,'' said an officer.

Louie, I think this is going to be the end of a beautiful relationship.
I was going to say “Scrape up the usual suspects,” but you beat me.
“They got a lucky break. Yesterday they were just two German clerks. Today they’re the “Honored Dead”. “
“Don’t come any closer or I’ll blow myself up!”
Bombers blowing themselves up? I’m shocked! SHOCKED!!
