The Moroccan royal family (a great ally of the US over the years, during Republican and Democratic administrations, and they are allegedly doing their share in the "war on terrorism" by using their torture techniques on whomever the US turns over to them) maybe at it again: "A former aide to the Moroccan royal family who had been in a long-running feud with King Mohammed VI has been shot dead in Spain, possibly the victim of a professional hit." When I first visited Paris in my late teens, the first place I wanted to see was the cafe from which the brave Moroccan dissident Mahdi Bin Barakah was snatched (later tortured and killed by Moroccan secret police). The "operation" is believed to have been carried out with the cooperation of the Mossad (a close all of the Moroccan royal family).
