A Moroccan police source said today that three fugitive suspects had been arrested in Marrakesh after an intensive manhunt – a day after another man was held, suspected of belonging to an Islamic extremist group.An additional nine men were arrested days later in several Moroccan cities, including Marrakesh and Essaouira, reported state-run media 2M.The terrorist attack comes just months after an American couple was brutally murdered by Islamic terrorists in Tajikistan while cycling the countryside in an ironic bid to prove that evil didn’t exist.These attacks highlight an apparent trend of Western naiveté regarding radical Islam, propelled largely by leftist mainstream media that constantly downplays or ignores its dangers.
