RABAT (Reuters) - A Moroccan news editor facing terrorism charges for posting a link to an al Qaida video on his website was released on bail on Friday, his defence lawyer said.

Police arrested Ali Anouzla, the editor of current affairs website Lakome.com, on September 17 after he added a link to a page on Spanish news site El Pais. The page contained the al Qaeda video in which militants threatened Morocco's King Mohammed and urged young Moroccans to rise up against their rulers.
