CASABLANCA, Morocco: A Moroccan man who was stopped from looking at terrorist Web sites in an Internet cafe blew himself up with explosives hidden on his body, the Interior Ministry said Monday. The man was killed and four people were injured in the Sunday night blast, including the dead man's companion, who was hospitalized with burns and a throat injury, said ministry spokesman Abderrahman Achour. Authorities, uncertain about the circumstances of the blast in an Internet cafe in a Casablanca slum, were holding off labeling it a suicide bombing, Achour said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. He said it was possible that the man was transporting explosives that went off at an unplanned moment.
