French news headlines:We're starting (or ending, if you're reading down) tonight's big story with the French reports.
Le Monde: Series of Bombings in Casablanca
At least 24 people were killed and some sixty others injured, Friday evening, in several nearly simultaneous suicide attacks in Casablanca, the economic capital of Morocco. Asked about a connection between these bombings and those in Riyadh, Monday, the Moroccan Minister of the Interior said that "One might notice the similarity in timing and modus operandi" between the two series of acts. As with Riyadh, places frequented by Westerners were struck.
Le Figaro: Schools: The Republic Blindfolded. When the buses stop running, it's one thing. When teachers stop teaching, it's symptomatic of something more troubling. Or so Le Figaro indicates.
Libération: Five Simultaneous Bombings in Morocco Leave 24 Dead. Note that Libé's summary is exactly the same as Le Monde's; only the headline differs. Inside, however, Le Monde runs its own story, patched together from Reuters and AFP. Libé just runs the Reuters wire.
Ouest-France: Retirement: The Details of the Fillon Agreement.
