The 1972 Moroccan coup attempt was an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate King Hassan II of Morocco on 16 August 1972. The attempted coup d'état occurred in Morocco when a rebel faction within the Moroccan military attempted to shoot down an aircraft carrying the King of Morocco, Hassan II. The attempt was orchestrated by General Mohamed Oufkir, a close advisor to King Hassan. He was assisted by Mohamed Amekrane, commander of the Moroccan air force base at Kenitra. The coup and protests aimed at overthrowing the authoritarian monarchy of King Hassan and his Alaouite dynasty in Morocco and forming a democratic republic that represents the Moroccan people instead.[1] On August 16, four Northrop F-5 jets, acting on Oufkir's orders, intercepted King Hassan's Boeing 727 as it returned from France.[2] Reportedly, King Hassan grabbed the radio and told the rebel pilots, "Stop firing! The tyrant is dead!" Fooled, the rebel pilots broke off their attack.[3]

Hassan's plane, which had been strafed by air force jets, killing eight and injuring 40,[4] landed safely at Rabat's airport.

So this is a list of the 10 worst the attempts at world domination ever this the American media company CBS News owns genuinely try to invade eighty they noticed that the Haitian government was going for a brief period instability and they're perfectly logical and reasonable reaction to this was to fund rebel fighters they agreed to fund invading forces in return for exclusive rights to the footage of the fighting the rebels would fight and CBS would film it ultimately their plan failed in the US government to win David United States officials was shocked when he learned plan but let's be honest an American news corporation trying to control an entire country is nothing new in 1981 9.2 premises mostly KKK members were arrested loading weapons were boat it was hard for them to explain the weapons to the FBI I'm and it was even harder to explain the low as Nancy flack there was also a vote it was soon revealed that the nine men were planning on sailing to the Carribean and invading the tiny nation of Dominica the nine men would then take power and leave the rest to be life like kings they were financially backed by South African officials but the thing I don't understand is going to group white supremacists would want to invade the country with a seventy percent black population that's like it some Greenpeace ons the rabbit I'm let me take you back to 1972 Thomas leader morocco's king hassan in August the King's personal adviser decided that eat wanted to be king so he waited for the King to be flying home from Paris before sending fighter pilots in the air to kill him the pilots began firing at the King's jet without realizing that we didn't have any weapons bed jets was still loaded with non-lethal practice ammunition the Kings be action to this was to grab his radio and tell the pilots stop firing the Tyrant is dead the pilots abate this and landed budgets on the grounds so just to make it clear what happened there King told the rebels that he himself was dead and in the single biggest active ABC all time they believed him they believed him when he said that eat was dead what a bunch of morons on the west coast of africa lies the small country of Ghana in the mid-nineteen eighties an entire army if 8 people attempted to overthrow done in government they were hired by a mysterious man named godfrey daughtry told them that the whole

the masses to revolt against the government the problem was that someone informed the authorities at the plant so when the rebels arrived in the city the military immediately started starring at the they found themselves on the so much fire but Hugo Chavez the big man himself had to flee his vehicle and run into a local museum when he tried to leave the museum again he found that the door was locked so he was just trapped in a museum all night king charles the first lost the English Civil War meaning that he lost power he was still king but he was under house arrest as no one really knew what to do with it I mean think about what do you do with the came you can make a mockery out of them they did it themselves with silly hats soaking Charles wanted to regain power in order to achieve this he started sending letters to politicians the letters said that he was going to kill them and their entire family the politicians didn't like being threatened survey simply just executed him during the French Revolution King Louis and his wife were also captured and put under house arrest their master plan was to escape capture fleet Austria raise an army and regain the French friend they've removed every garments and silly hats and disguised themselves as regular rich people which wasn't much of a disguise back in eighteenth-century France so obviously obviously they didn't reach the Austrian border they were recognized and vent executed plant guillotine to the face the manhattan rebellion was when members of the Royal Thai Navy wanted to gain control of their country survey kidnapped the Prime Minister and imprisoned him in a warship be assumed for the Thai government and Thai army would be desperate to get him back so they would cripple to any demands turns out the Thai Army was employed about the Prime Minister's safety at school they simply started bombing the ship and didn't stop until it sank Adolf Hitler wasn't always believed germany but he always had high hopes in 1923 the German government was hosting an event in a be able which sounds weird but in Germany every building is basically a beer all Adolf Hitler and a group of six hundred other nazis burst into the room and declared a fascist revolution the Nazis were soon forced to flee as we didn't expect the police to shoot at them they say out of it was actually sing cowering behind other people as he ran for safety hit the discourse go on to become the fewer so if there are any impressionable young children watch you could learn a lot from uncle Adolf and Savannah brings us to the end of the list I would appreciate it if you help me out I may be liking commenting and sharing this video

Background

Hassan II, pictured in 1981

The coup occurred a year after another attempted military coup against King Hassan II's regime. 250 rebels based in the Ahermoumou cadet training school attacked the King's palace on his 42nd birthday, killing 91 people and injuring 133.[5]

Oufkir had gained power after the coup in 1971, moving from the Minister of Interior to Minister of Defence. Many had believed he planned the first coup to facilitate this rise.[6]

Attack

A Moroccan Boeing 727, similar to that involved in the coup

All of the 220 men in the dock were officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers from the Kenitra air force installation. Most of them had only carried out the directives.[7]

On 16 August 1972, as King Hassan was returning to Morocco from a personal visit to France, four Royal Moroccan Air Force pilots, flying Northrop F-5 fighter jets, attacked the Boeing 727, It was said that Major Kouera el‐Ouafi led this attack.[8][2] The planes shot holes through the fuselage, killing some passengers. During the attack, Major Kouera el‐Ouafi plane was damaged and was forced to bail out, but was captured shortly afterward.[8] One plane broke off, strafing a nearby airfield and killing many on the ground.[9]

Allegedly, the rebel pilots broke off their attack on the King's aircraft after the King himself grabbed the radio and told the rebel pilots, "Stop firing! The tyrant is dead!" Believing their mission to have been accomplished, the rebel pilots broke off their attack.[3]

Eight passengers on the royal jet were killed and forty injured, however, the jet was able to land safely at Rabat airport.[4]

Aftermath

Kenitra Air Base, where most of the rebellious air force officers were based, was surrounded and hundreds arrested.[9]

Oufkir was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds later on 16 August, ostensibly from suicide when he learned the King knew of the betrayal.[10][11] Many of his relatives were imprisoned, not being released until 1991, speculated to be because of international criticism for possible human rights abuses.[12] General Mohamed Amekrane fled to Gibraltar after the coup's failure; he failed to receive asylum and was extradited back to Morocco where he was executed by firing squad.[13]
