CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) Witnesses say an explosion has rocked a suburb of Casablanca, Morocco's economic capital.

Authorities say at least one person is dead and six wounded. Resident Hassan Sajeed says the explosion occurred in front of or inside a video game arcade on his street.

Sajeed said he believed the explosion was a bomb, and that windows were blown out as far as 40 yards away.

Morocco's Interior Ministry says the blast early Wednesday appears to be a gas explosion, not a terrorist act.

A high ranking official at the ministry says one person is dead and six wounded. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of government regulations.

Deadly terrorist bombings rocked Casablanca in 2003.
and April 2007

The ministry don't want to scare the population but what a gas cylinder's doing in a video game arcade does the machines works with gas?
or the terrorists used gas cylinder as a bomb?
