Facing terror
threat
Moroccan authorities announced on Saturday, January 17, that they
broke up an Islamic State terror
cell which was sending fighters to Iraq and Syria and planning attacks
inside the country.
"According to intelligence
reports, Moroccans fighting in Syria and Iraq have been trained
in handling weapons and manufacturing explosives to perpetrate
attacks once they return to Morocco," the kingdom's Interior Ministry
reported, as quoted by Reuters.
"Some of the eight members
of the cell have been convicted in other terrorism cases in the
past," the official statement reads.
