RABAT, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Four explosions late on Saturday in the city of Smara in Morocco-controlled Western Sahara killed one man and injured three others, local authorities said.
The blasts damaged two houses, authorities said in a statement, without adding further details.
Morocco considers Western Sahara its own territory, but the Algerian-backed Polisario Front wants an independent state there.
Morocco has said autonomy is the most it can offer to the territory as a political solution.
Twenty-eight other countries - mostly African and Arab - have opened consulates in Dakhla or the city of Laayoune, in what Morocco sees as tangible support for its Western Saharan rule.
