Royal Air Maroc flight concern

A concern about a domestic passenger flight in Morocco with RAM. MoroccoBoard.com reports the following in an email newsletter:

According to a bulletin printed at Wednesday, July 16th, at Morocco daily L'Economist,a Royal Air Maroc flight between Agadir & Casablanca, the plane made a brutal change of course that caused a big freight among the passengers.
During the plane descent towards the Casablanca Mohamed V Airport, suddenly, the pilot changed course and pointed the plane towards the sky in a sudden maneuver to gain altitude.
the frightened passengers thought that the pilot has just missed hitting something and that they were in danger.

The plane later made a second attempt and landed safely.
As usual, and in line with Royal Air Maroc's notorious "customer service", the pilot did not bother to offer any explication to his passengers and remained silent during the rest of the flight.
When exiting the passengers complained to the crew about the lack of explication.
the crew replied that the passengers can write about the incident if they want to.
"Go ahead, write about it" was the disdainful answer from the pilot!

This makes one wonder about the internal labor relations at Royal Air Maroc and its incidence on company operations safety.



Is there any truth that this occured? Does anybody know what could have made the flight crew make such a manoeuvre?
