Pictures tell the story

A picture of a restaurant in Morocco, torn apart by a bomb, stands as stark testimony to what happened to dozens of innocent people enjoying an evening meal in Casablanca.

The headline in the Independent on Sunday - Carnage in Casablanca - is no less telling.

The same picture, with its scorched chairs and tables, appears in The Observer, which gives harrowing details of how the terrorists slit the throats of security guards before detonating their bombs in bars and restaurants across the city.

British tourists who were caught up in the bombings tell their story to The People.

One says he was seconds from death after seeing a bomber struggling with security staff at the entrance of his hotel.

Ian Young thought the man was drunk. He had just reached the eighth floor when he felt a huge boom and the lift shook violently.

Next target?

The Sunday Times reports that Osama bin Laden has singled out Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as targets for "martyrdom operations" in a chilling audio tape issued only three months before the latest string of bombings.

Another warning has been picked up by the Sunday Telegraph which says an e-mail sent by an al-Qaeda member to a London-based magazine claims that the terrorist group will target Americans and Israelis in the coming days.

The Sunday Mirror asks the question, Where Next? It lists seven African countries British tourists should avoid.

As well as Morocco, there is Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda and Tanzania.

The Sunday Express believes Britain may be the next target.

It says al-Qaeda cells are poised to strike as part of the global wave of terror killings.

The paper says it can reveal that two teams of four are already active.

One is seeking to attack Heathrow Airport, the other is believed to be looking for targets in Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds.

Euro threat

The single European currency is top of political concerns for some - the Sunday Times warns that joining the euro could cause a damaging boom and bust in Britain's housing market.

The warning is said to come from confidential studies carried out by Gordon Brown and is included in the dossier he has drawn up on the euro for fellow cabinet ministers.

A new campaign is to be launched by the anti-euro camp, according to the Sunday Telegraph, to force the government into holding a referendum.

Sympathetic businessmen and senior MPs of all parties are being approached to support the campaign - titled Vote 2004.

The Mail on Sunday suspects they will get all the support they need from the chancellor.

It says Gordon Brown has sensationally threatened to resign in a row with Tony Blair. He is alleged to have told the prime minister that if he is overruled on the historic decision, he would quit in a crisis that would destroy the government.

Hair today

For those wanting a real shock there is David Beckham's latest hairstyle.

"Who's a prat in the plait?" asks the News of the World, saying the England ace has never learned the follicle of his ways when it comes to hair.

The People simply thinks it is wacky while the Daily Star on Sunday likens his hair to Bo Derek in the film Ten.

The Sunday Express is unimpressed, however, giving his braided corn-rows a two out of 10.
