Rebels Attack French Post Threaten Moroccan Frontier
Fez reports reinforce columns to quell a Berber uprising that drove French from Immouzer Des Marmoudha and tested posts near Taforalt. About 60 rebels attacked the Taforalt outpost, early Sunday, after 11 Europeans were killed at Immouzer Des Marmoudha. Over 1500 rebels, many from the Spanish side, were involved in the wider revolt. Some rebels crossed into Algeria prompting arrests of a Berber group living on both sides of the frontier. The unrest appears linked to hopes for exiled Sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef's return to power.
