The BCIJ, the judicial arm of the domestic intelligence service, saved the North African country from a carnage. “That operation was to be perpetrated by a woman with an explosive,” Khayam told reporters at a press conference. The commando arrested in several cities including Kenitra, Sidi Slimane and Tangier was in possession of chemicals and bomb-making materials. The cell members, including minors, were also targeting vital places on the Moroccan territory, according to a home ministry statement. The BCIJ has since its creation last year burst dozens of cells and arrested hundreds of terrorists.
