Description: "04/28/2011: At 11:00 a.m., two bombs exploded at the Café Argana, killing 17 people including two Canadians and injuring 25 others. Among the dead were Michael Zekry, 29, a pregnant Israeli Canadian, and her husband, Messod Wizman, 30, a Moroccan Canadian. Initial reports said a suicide bomber was involved, but the government later said the bombs were remotely detonated and packed with nails, triacetone triperoxide (TATP), and ammonium nitrate. Al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb was suspected; however, no one claimed credit. Three Moroccan suspects were charged."
