From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.France's Foreign Ministry has confirmed eight French nationals were among 16 people killed in a terror bombing at a cafe popular with tourists in Morocco.
Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero said Monday that nine French were also wounded in Thursday's blast at the Argana cafe overlooking the historic Djemaa el-Fna square in Marrakech.
Morocco's Interior Ministry has said three Moroccans, a Briton, a Canadian, a Dutch, a Portuguese and a Swiss national also died. Amid the ruin, officials needed several days to identify some of the dead.
The attack has jolted the crucial tourism industry in the relatively peaceful North African country amid upheaval across the Arab world.
No one has claimed responsibility, but Morocco's interior minister has said the attack bears the hallmarks of al-Qa’ida.
