Resorts escape Morocco quake

Monday, 24 Feb, 2004 0

A powerful earthquake has struck northern Morocco, killing at least 300 people in rural villages close to the country’s Mediterranean coast. No tourists were believed to have been injured by the quake, which struck 100 miles north east of Fes and 100 miles east of Tangier. British tour operators said there was little danger it would affect the country’s tourism industry as the two most popular cities for holidaymakers, Cassablanca on the Atlantic coast and Marrkech, which is much further south, were not damaged.
