Morocco Arrests Swiss-British Man with Suspected ISIS Links near Rabat

Agents of the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ) arrested this Thursday morning a foreign national for his links with the terrorist organization Daesh.

Cited by the site Ahdath.info, a source close to the case indicates that it is a man holding Swiss and English nationalities, arrested in Temara, near Rabat. He calls himself "Abdelkarim".

The same source recalls that the police recently arrested a Swiss national for his links with the murderers of two Scandinavian nationals killed on December 16 in the mountainous region of Imlil.

Many foreigners, including French, Belgians, Italians, and Algerians, have been arrested in recent years in Morocco for their alleged links with terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq.
