A court in Morocco has sentenced 10 people to eight years' imprisonment for belonging to a banned Muslim fundamentalist movement with the aim of committing terrorist offences.
All 10 men had pleaded not guilty to charges of carrying out activities on behalf of the group, Salafia Jihadia.
That organisation is accused of the suicide bomb attacks in the port city of Casablanca last May in which 45 people died.
The court in Rabat postponed the trials of 33 other suspects facing the same charges until next month.
