McCanns heartened by children in Morocco

BEAMING for the first time in 39 days, Kate McCann was embraced by hoards of Moroccan children yesterday as she took the search for her kidnapped daughter to north Africa.

More than 100 children gathered around her and husband Gerry in the nation’s capital Rabat, holding posters of Madeleine high above their heads.

They danced and chanted the four-year-old’s name for almost an hour as the couple met up with a child welfare organisation.
