MARRAKESH, April 28 (Reuters) - A blast hurt several people in a cafe in the southern Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Thursday, a Reuters photographer at the scene said.

An official source said the blast appeared to have been caused by gas canisters catching fire inside the cafe, in the main Jamaa el-Fna square.

The Reuters photographer said rescue services were pulling casualties from the cafe. (Reporting by Youssef Boudlal, Writing by Souhail Karam)
