Security forces in Morocco announced on Tuesday (May 12th) that they had successfully dismantled a "nascent terrorist organisation planning to carry out attacks" in the country. This cell, which comprised eight people, operated in at least three towns – Laâyoune, Guelmim, and Boujdour – as part of the radical Islamist Salafia Jihadia movement.

"These terrorists have been monitored for months and inquiries showed that the people we detained were a threat," said one interior ministry source wishing to remain anonymous.

PJD Secretary-General Abdellah Benkirane said Tuesday in a televised interview that one of the people arrested is a member of the Student Movement for Unity and Reform.

Great. . .now if 'we' can do the same in Georgia; Virginia and New York (video link below). . .and wherever else they may be embedded and/or, taking root.

Thanks for the video link. I sent it to my State Senators here in Pennsylvania to see if we can get something done about the training camp in Wayne County PA.

You are welcome. These ‘situations’ cannot stand as no good will prevail if they do.

“Morocco: Jihadists planned to attack Jews”

SNIPPET: “This case again demonstrates the intriguing uniformity with which jihadists far removed from one another “misunderstand” Islam’s purported message of “tolerance.”

“Arrested Islamists planned to attack Jews in Morocco,” from Agence France-Presse, May 21:

RABAT (AFP) — A group of alleged Islamists recently arrested in Morocco planned to attack Jewish interests in the country, a court source said Thursday, citing the charges against them.

The suspects, alleged to be members of a cell that was part of the radical Islamist movement Salafia Jihadia, were also preparing attacks against Moroccan security services, the source said.

Details of the alleged attack plans were not available.

The cell — Jamaat Al Mourabitine Al Jodod, or New Fighters Group — allegedly began operating in March 2008 in southern Morocco and sought to recruit militants from Koranic schools with the intention of infiltrating political parties.”
