RABAT, April 14 (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers who killed themselves near U.S. diplomatic offices in Morocco's commercial hub, Casablanca, on Saturday clearly intended to attack those buildings, a senior police source said.

"There is no doubt they aimed at the U.S. targets. They made that statement with their own bodies," the source said, adding the two could not get closer to the two buidlings -- the U.S. cultural centre and the U.S. consulate -- because of the buildings' security fortifications.
