Three ISIS-linked extremists were arrested in
Morocco on Monday after planning to “execute terrorist attacks,” according to
the counterterrorism office in the North African country.
Primary investigations showed that the members were
“promoting extremist ideology” and “working to recruit others” to prepare for
attacks, the office revealed.
The arrests happened in the two Moroccan cities of
Errachidia and Tinghir in the southeast of the country.
Moroccan authorities had also arrested seven
suspected extremists with links to ISIS in April, according to the central
bureau of investigations.
