The restaurent proprietary isn't Italian Jewish, it is Spanish Please correct

Fazazi

How about adding Mohammed Fazazi to this article. He was preaching in Hamburg at the time some of the 9/11-terrorists (Hamburg cell) attended the al-Quds Mosque. And he is imprisoned in Morocco(?) now, due to his relation to the Casablanca bombings. At least, as far as I understood it. ... Though I read, that he is allowed to stay in contact via mobilephone and snailmail with the rest of the world. JanCK 10:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Motivation for the attack

From the article "The motive behind the bombings was probably the fact that Morocco had a history of good relationship with Jews". Huh? If Morocco has a history of good relations with Jews, why were they targetted? The above sentence doesn't make any sense as it is; can anyone expand on it?

33 victims and 12 suicide bombers in the infobox it says 11 attackers were killed.
on the spot More clear
The attacks came in a rise in radical preachers ungrammatical
many of the preachers were veterans of the Soviet-Afghan war non-sequitur

Just having gone through the lede, I can see many grammatical issues, and a lack of clarity and colloquial language. Please complete a copyedit of the article before I continue my review of the article, to ensure I am not repeating myself.
