SKELETONS FOUND IN FRENCH CONSULATE

BUILDING workers have found four human skeletons at the French consulate in Casablanca in northern Morocco. The skeletons are those of people who died in the 1950s and have been taken to the Casablanca mortuary for examination, reports said, quoting informed sources. The French embassy in Rabat confirmed the discovery, but had little to say about it. “We don’t have any particular details of the matter, which is now in the hands of the Moroccan authorities,” an official said. – AFP
