CASABLANCA, Morocco - Investigators raided suspected Islamic militant hideouts across Morocco on Sunday after near-simultaneous suicide attacks killed 28 bystanders and tainted this country's image of security and peace.
A diplomatic source said on condition of anonymity that American and French anti-terrorism experts had arrived in Casablanca to help investigate Friday's bombings at five downtown locations.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In the wake of deadly suicide attacks in Saudi Arabia and Morocco, top Saudi diplomat Prince Bandar bin Sultan was dispatched on a last-minute, secret mission related to the war on terrorism, a Saudi adviser said on Sunday.
