US Adds Four Moroccan Daesh Affiliates to Global Terror Watchlist

Four Moroccans affiliated with the terrorist organization, Daesh, are now on the global terrorist blacklist. During the investigations into the Paris (2015) and Brussels airport (2016) attacks, three names from the group were often mentioned.
The four Moroccans listed by the United States will no longer be able to move freely like any other citizen. They are now being followed in their every move as well as in the movements of their financial assets. This expertise was carried out thanks to the updating of the decisions of the American administration based on reports from the CIA and the FBI.
Among the four Moroccan nationals is the terrorist Anas El Aboubi, currently in Syria after joining Daesh in 2013. According to Italian intelligence, he became radicalized in 2012, at the time when he became famous in Italian rap circles under the nickname "MS Khalifa".
He was arrested in June 2013 for planning a terrorist attack in the north of the country and recruiting individuals to carry out military operations in Syria. He has been free for two weeks after his incarceration before fleeing to Syria.
The second terrorist listed by the USA is called Abdallah Hamch nicknamed "Abou Souleymane the Frenchman". He is the commander of the "Tarek Ibn Zyad" battalion, made up of 300 foreign fighters affiliated with Daesh.
The name of Abou Souleymane was often mentioned after the terrorist attacks carried out on November 3, 2015 in Paris, killing 131 victims and claimed by Daesh. US intelligence services had identified this former fighter in Afghanistan as one of the possible planners of this series of terrorist attacks.
Like Mohammed Abrini, accused of planning and participating in the attacks in Paris and Brussels, Salah Abdelsam is on Washington’s blacklist and has grown up since December 22, 1984 in the Brussels capital in a family of five members including three brothers and two sisters.
