RABAT, April 12 (Reuters) - Casablanca police arrested a man in a Casablanca suburb where three bombs exploded this week but no bomb was detonated, a local resident said on Thursday.

"There was no explosion. The police seem to have arrested the last of the terrorists whose house they raided on Tuesday," the resident said by telephone.

A police source said a man detonated a bomb he was carrying on Thursday but a Moroccan government official then denied this.

Moroccan arrest has no link to terrorism: police

Thu Apr 12, 12:35 PM ET

RABAT (Reuters) - Moroccan police said a man arrested on Thursday
in a Casablanca district where four suspected bombers were killed
earlier this week had no links to terrorism and was not the fifth
member of a cell.

"An examination of the man's situation confirmed that he has no link
with terrorist acts," the police were quoted as saying by the official
MAP news agency.

The police said the man, Rajad Khaled, was released after an identity
check showed he was not from the Hay el Fida district where three
suspected suicide bombers blew themselves up on Tuesday following
a raid in which a fourth was shot dead.
