Two extremists affiliated with the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS) were arrested in Casablanca, according to a statement released by the Ministry of the Interior.
The Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations (BCIJ) and the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST) coordinated the arrest, which took place on Sunday.
Preliminary police investigations indicate that the two terrorists had enlisted themselves towards forwarding ISIS’ cause and had been trying to get a hold of an explosive belt to attack a sensitive target in the kingdom.
The ministry added that the suspects would face trial and the public prosecutor once a full investigation into the matter had been completed.
