Jewish couple among the dead in Marrakesh cafe explosion

A Jewish couple were among more than a dozen people killed in an explosion Thursday in Marrakesh, Morocco. Massoud Weizman, 32, and his wife Michal, 30, lived in Shanghai, China, but were visiting Massoud’s parents in Casablanca for Passover.
