Morocco says arrests jihadist who planned 'suicide attack'
2019-12-16
[AlAhram] Moroccan anti-terror police announced Sunday the arrest of an alleged jihadist who "planned a suicide kaboom".

The 41-year-old Death Eater tried to "build expertise in the use of arms", Morocco's central office for judicial investigations said in a statement.

He was imbued in the "ideological propaganda" of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, it added.

"Electronic devices and documents... on the making of explosives" were seized, the office said.

Long spared jihadist violence, Morocco was last year hit by the gruesome murder of two Scandinavian tourists in the High Atlas mountains, committed in the name of IS.

The perpetrators were sentenced to death, a penalty not carried out in Morocco since 1993.
