A vast anti-terrorist operation targeting several cities took place this morning in Morocco. It targeted members with links to the terrorist group known as the Islamic State.

Eight people, including Moroccans, convicted of terrorism, have been stripped of their Belgian nationality in their absence. The justice system accuses them of "having seriously failed in their obligations as Belgian citizens".

Gathered within the "Coordination of Moroccans Stranded in Turkey", Moroccan jihadists who fought in Syria are negotiating their return to the country on condition that they do not have to account to justice.

Many fighters from the terrorist organization Daesh, including dozens of Moroccans, are leaving the conflict zones in Syria, Iraq, Somalia and the Sahel to join Libya.

Radical movements have recruited more Salafist women, including Moroccans in Germany and Belgium, with respective rates of 30% and 45%. This is revealed by the intelligence services of the two countries.

Three women from Antwerp and six of their children will be repatriated from Turkey to Belgium on Wednesday, July 1st. These women, along with foreign fighters, had left for Syria to join the Islamic State group.

Rahma B., a 32-year-old woman returning from Syria, was sentenced on Friday, June 26, 2020, to five years in prison and a fine of 8,000 euros for her participation in the activities of a terrorist group. The Antwerp Criminal Court also pronounced the deprivation of her Belgian nationality.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that ten children of French jihadists, held in displacement camps under Kurdish control in Syria, returned to the country overnight from Sunday to Monday.

In total, 203 Moroccan children remain detained in Syria and Iraq since the fall of the Islamic State (IS) without any hope of repatriation. This is what the national coordination of families of Moroccans blocked or detained in these two countries reveals.

A man of Moroccan origin was arrested on Tuesday by the Spanish police. He is accused of his "alleged participation in the financing of terrorist activities".

A terrorist cell linked to the terrorist organization called Daesh has been dismantled in Bolaños de Calatrava (Ciudad Real, central Spain), according to a statement from the Spanish police. The members of this cell were preparing terrorist attacks against security forces in Europe.
