The trial of the nine men suspected of carrying out the fatal bomb attack in a Marrakesh café in April is to open later this week.

The blast, in a popular tourist spot in the old quarter of the Moroccan city, left 17 people dead including British Jew Peter Moss .

Mr Moss, a well-known travel writer and a long-time JC contributor , was 59 and had two children.

He was in Marrakesh alone, having booked a last-minute getaway during the royal wedding weekend.
