Morocco Dismantles ISIS-Linked Terror Cell, Arrests Three in Northern Region

The Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ) has just announced the dismantling of a new terrorist cell in northern Morocco.

Composed of three individuals, the terrorist cell was active in Nador and Driouch, the Ministry of the Interior said, specifying that the preliminary investigation reveals that the members of this cell, supporters of "Daesh", aged between 18 and 31 years old, were planning terrorist operations in the Kingdom, after acquiring skills in the manufacture of explosives and toxic substances.

All the accused have been taken into custody and will be brought before the courts as soon as the investigation, which is being carried out under the supervision of the public prosecutor’s office, is completed.
