The criminal court in Sale, near Rabat, convicted 27 members of an alleged Islamic extremist group late Tuesday and sentenced them to prison terms ranging from two to eight years, MAP said. Two suspects were convicted in absentia and sentenced to a year in prison, it said.
The group, known as the Tetouan cell after the northern Moroccan town where most of the defendants came from, was accused of having ideological, financial and logistical ties to several terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida.”
