Morocco breaks up cell allegedly planning attacks
None
Moroccan authorities say they have dismantled an eight-man group that they say had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group and was planning attacks inside the country.
The Interior Ministry statement Tuesday said the suspects were arrested in the northern cities of Tangier and Taounate as well as the coastal towns of Khouribga and Bouznika and were in contact with the radical group based in Iraq and Syria. The statement said the cell planned to host IS fighters traveling to Morocco so that they could carry out attacks on security personnel and other targets to destabilize the country.
