Morocco PM denounces Polisario ‘media war’

RABAT: Morocco’s Premier Saad-Eddine El-Othmani has rejected as propaganda a claim made this week by pro-independence rebels fighting over disputed Western Sahara that they had killed three of the kingdom’s soldiers.
The Algeria-backed Polisario Front said on Tuesday it had killed three Moroccan soldiers in the southern Ouarkziz area in the Akka region the previous day in a raid on a garrison that saw it overrun then destroyed.
The Moroccan prime minister on Wednesday rejected the claim in a tweet.
