MARRAKECH, Morocco - A powerful earthquake in Morocco has killed more than 800 people and injured hundreds more, destroying buildings and sending residents of major cities rushing from their homes in the country's deadliest tremor in more than six decades. In Marrakech, the nearest big city to the epicentre, residents spent the night in the open, afraid to go home. Buildings in the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, suffered damage. A mosque minaret had fallen in Jemaa al-Fna Square, the heart of Marrakech's old city. Another Marrakech resident, Brahim Himmi, said he saw ambulances coming out of the old town and many building facades damaged.
