IGHRAN, Morocco (AP) — Morocco has buried 5-year-old Rayan, a boy who was trapped in a well for days and whose plight drew worldwide attention. Rayan was pulled out Saturday from a 32-meter (105-foot) deep well where he had been trapped for five days. The funeral took place after noontime prayers on Monday in Ighran, a village in Morocco’s mountainous north. The boy was laid to rest in a plot where other family members are buried in a hilltop cemetery. Scores of mourners from all over the country flocked to the funeral to pay their respects.
