Muhammad Ali arrives in Morocco with aid

The American former boxing champion, Muhammad Ali, has arrived in Morocco with five tonnes of food and medicines.

He is to donate the aid to nuns lookingafter young Liberian refugees in Ivory Coast.

Muhammad Ali -- a devout Muslim -- was invited to Morocco by King Hassan II, and is expected to attend a religious seminar marking the holy month of Ramadan.
