Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in Casablanca near U.S. cultural and diplomatic buildings on Saturday, four days after similar attacks in the city.

The mid-morning attacks in the commercial hub of Morocco killed the two bombers and injured a woman, an official with the Interior Ministry said.

Witnesses said the first explosion took place about six metres from the Dar America cultural centre. The second one occurred about 60 metres from the U.S. Consulate.

Police said they later arrested a man wearing an explosive belt and two other suspects in the neighbourhood, which is also home to a synagogue.

On Tuesday, three men blew themselves up in Casablanca's working-class Hay al-Farah neighbourhood after police stormed what they said was a safe house for a suspected gang of suicide bombers.

A fourth man was gunned down by a police sniper. On Thursday in the neighbourhood, police arrested two men linked to the group.

Saturday’s attacks in Casablanca came at the end of a week that saw two suicide bomb attacks in neighbouring Algeria.

The bombers killed 33 people in the city of Algiers on Wednesday in attacks that were later claimed by a group allegedly linked to al-Qaeda.
