Police in Morocco have arrested three people in connection to a bomb blast in the city of Marrakesh on April 28 that left at least 16 people killed.

The three arrested on Thursday were all Moroccan nationals, state media quoted the country's interior ministry, as saying.

The ministry said the chief suspect was "well-versed in jihadi ideology and shows loyalty to al Qaeda", who had previously tried to fight alongside Islamist fighters in Chechnya and Iraq.
