Morocco Alerts Sri Lanka to Potential ISIS Terror Plot, Averting Attack

Economic Times, an Indian media, has just revealed: "Morocco provided Sri Lanka with additional information that allowed it to anticipate other terrorist attacks that the Islamic State was planning to orchestrate, according to security sources".

According to the same source, it would be a new cycle of terrorist attacks that was planned in Sri Lanka, after the bloody Easter Sunday on April 21 last. To recall, these attacks left more than 257 dead and about 500 injured.

This ability of Morocco to counter terrorist attacks before they occur would be due, according to the same media, to the fact that Morocco "manages a large database on the Islamic State and its network".

Morocco had helped identify the nine authors of the Easter Sunday attacks that targeted hotels and churches, just a few hours after the attacks.
