The county's interior minister said five charred bodies were found in a bank set aflame by "troublemakers" in pro-democracy protests.
Taeib Cherqaoui told reporters at least 128 people were injured, mostly security forces in unrest linked to protests a day earlier that drew at least 37,000 demonstrators in dozens of towns and cities.
The minister said that "troublemakers" vandalised dozens of public buildings, shops and banks, including one in northeastern Al Hoceima where the five bodies were found. He said 120 people were arrested.
Political campaigners said the protests were hijacked by thugs in some towns, especially by football fans leaving matches. Some 37,000 protested, according to the interior ministry.
