ISIS Militants Who Threatened Morocco Killed in Syria Combat

These deaths were reported by Ledesk, which states, speaking of the jihadists who now only await death in Syria: "This was already the case for Abdelkhalek Mahdali and Khalid Boumedienne, both originally from Fnideq, who were killed in combat last week in Syria. The two Moroccan jihadists are not unknown: they appeared in a famous Daech propaganda video broadcast a few years ago, where they then threatened to carry out "attacks" in... Morocco".

Five other Moroccan jihadists were also reportedly killed in Syria under similar conditions, in the last two months alone, according to the same source.

Note that Morocco has been threatened several times by the terrorist organization the Islamic State. The daily Assabah had already reported, in 2015, a desire of Daesh fighters to carry out "devastating attacks" on Moroccan territory. Attacks that "will annihilate the soldiers, explode the palaces and destroy the economy," still according to the same source.

The collaboration of Morocco with several European countries including France, Belgium and Spain was then the reason for this resentment.

In conclusion, Ledesk emphasizes: "the few Moroccan jihadists still present in Deir Ezzour and Baghouz have nothing left to hope for but death, due to their refusal to surrender and be transferred to Morocco by the Syrian Democratic Forces, who already hold dozens of Moroccan jihadists and their families".
