Jailed Jihadists in Spain Plotted Attacks on Morocco and European Cities
Moroccan terrorists detained in Spain wanted to launch major terrorist attacks in Spain and probably also in Morocco, using firearms and explosives acquired through the trade in psychotropics and cannabis in Morocco.
They felt that their country of origin was trying to please Europe, which is why they regularly used expressions such as: "We must burn Morocco!", says the Spanish media cadenaser. This made the kingdom one of their target objectives.
This jihadist cell was dismantled on February 4 inside the Valdemoro prison in Madrid. It had already ordered an attack in Madrid and Barcelona, "using firearms and explosives acquired with money from the drug trade called karkobi," according to the same source. "They also sold hashish," the media also states.
This trafficking, controlled within the prison itself, had ramifications in several European countries. The terrorist cell was headed by "a charismatic leader", a Moroccan citizen previously imprisoned for common law crimes. The latter benefited from the support of a prison official.
In their cells, they would have discovered: "many telephone terminals" some with encryption technology. This equipment was found "in socks, shoes and cleaning equipment such as brooms."
