Fifty-two suspected members of the radical fundamentalist organisation, "Salafia Jihadia" (the Salafist combatant), accused
by the Moroccan authorities of instigating the attacks, appeared before the Casablanca court of appeal, which is holding its first hearing in the case.
The accused, include three kamikazes, who narrowly escape on the night of the attacks which killed 44 people and injured about a hundred others.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks so far.
The three kamikazes "directly involved" in these attacks were presented separately, while the other accused were divided into five groups.
Most of them are facing prosecution for "forming a criminal group, breach of national security, sabotage, premeditated murder, intentional harm causing injuries and permanent invalidity."
Those involved are accused of varying levels of involvement in the Casablanca attacks, and would be tried in accordance with the new anti-terrorist law, which entered into force 29 May, prescribing stiffer sentences for offences considered as terrorist acts.
Legal sources say about 700 radical fundamentalists are being prosecuted in various terrorist cases throughout Morocco.
