The Moroccan Interior Ministry Friday announced it dismantled in the Northern city of Tetuan a three-man cell connected to Daech that was preparing attacks against institutions and security authorities. The operation was led by the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ), the judicial arm of the domestic intelligence service. A week ago, security forces nabbed seven terrorists in the city of Fez and nearby town of Moulay Yacoub. The cell members were trying to recruit volunteers for the terrorist Islamic State group, the interior ministry announced. The BCIJ has dismantled multiple groups with ties to international networks that included ISIS and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
