Another interesting article that didn't seem to have gotten much attention -- note two women were married to pilots.

MOROCCO: WOMAN ARRESTED IN ANTI-TERROR PROBE

Rabat, 31 August (AKI) - A fourth woman has been arrested in an investigation into Morocco's Ansar Al Mahdi terrorist group, the Moroccan interior minister Chakib Benmoussa told a press conference on Thursday. The announcement came a day after reports said security at Moroccan airports had been tightened following the arrest of three women - two of whom are married to pilots with the national airline Royal Air Maroc - charged with involvement with the radical Islamic group.

Morocco's official news agency MAP quoted the interior minister as saying on Thursday that the four women had been contacted by the wife of Karim Mejjat, reportedly a member of al-Qaeda killed in Saudi Arabia by security services.

They are charged with funding Ansar El Mahdi, a terrorist group the Moroccan government says it dismantled earlier this month after police arrested 52 members.

The militants were reportedly active in north-eastern Morocco and were affiliated to a larger fundamentalist cell operating in several Moroccan cities including Casablanca.

Moroccan authorities have reportedly arrested some 2,000 Islamic militants after terrorist attacks on Casablanca left 33 dead on May 2003.

Let's see if we can create an ad for this airline....

"Royal Air Maroc--we only crash our planes on September 11"

"Fly Royal Air Maroc--we bring the virgins to you."

:-)
