Associated Press - August 13, 2008 NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania - An American woman was sentenced to eight to 20 years in prison on Wednesday for killing her bigamist husband as he was set to travel to Africa to see his second Muslim wife. Myra Morton, 48, tearfully apologized to the mother of victim Jereleigh Morton during the sentencing hearing. She had pleaded guilty in April to third-degree murder for fatally shooting her husband of 25 years as he slept in their home. When he was slain last August, he was about to fly to Morocco to impregnate his younger second wife. Myra Morton initially blamed the killing on an intruder, but her attorneys later acknowledged that the crime was intentional. They said the killing stemmed from the damaged psyche of a humiliated, middle-aged woman. Jereleigh Morton had met a Moroccan woman on the Internet in late 2006 and soon arranged to marry her. The Mortons had converted to Islam about 20 years ago and, in keeping with Muslim custom, Myra Morton traveled to Morocco to bless his March 2007 marriage to 37-year-old Zahra Toural. But Police say Myra Morton grew to resent the arrangement, at least in part because her husband was sending Toural $3,000 a month. Morton hit her breaking point hours before her spouse was to board a flight to Morocco to be with his younger bride. In emotional testimony on Wednesday, the victim's mother, Delzora Morton, said Myra Morton did not have to resort to violence. "W ...

The harbour of Sidi Ifni, in southern Morocco, was once again blocked by citizens on strike last Monday. This video, sent by one of our Moroccan observers, seems to show that the strike was broken up in a particularly brutal way. According to local media sources, around 300 people had gathered to block the harbour, demanding the release of their co-citizens who were arrested during previous demonstrations. Strikes held in early June turned violent after Police attempted to break them up. The atmosphere at Sidi Ifni has been tense for months, its citizens accusing the government of voluntarily reigning in the economic development of their city. The Moroccan media usually stick to the Police and government's official declarations, which is that violent incidents stem only from "a few troublemakers". Online, however, locals have criticized the brutality of Police repression. Local web surfers use YouTube to broadcast videos of the conflicts. This type of image is scarce because the city, far from Marocco's economic hot spots, is hardly ever covered by foreign media. ...

Police broke up a suspected terror cell Saturday and arrested five North Africans, including the alleged leader who Italian officials said recruited Islamic extremists for attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan. Authorities also suspect the cell sent tens of thousands of dollars to groups in Bosnia that offer training and logistical support to Iraqi and Afghan terror organizations, said Claudio Galzerano, head of the Italian Police force's international terrorism division. Police arrested the five suspects - four Tunisians and one Moroccan - in Bologna and the nearby towns of Faenza and Imola, Galzerano said. They were accused of international terrorism, but have yet to be formally charged, he said. A sixth suspect was still being sought. Galzerano said those arrested include alleged Tunisian ringleader Khalil Jarraya, a veteran of Bosnia's 1992-95 war, and four others he allegedly recruited for suicide attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Galzerano said Jarraya, who also has received Bosnian citizenship, may have recruited others already sent abroad. ...
