Morocco has urged the Europol for closer cooperation to monitor radicalized youth in Europe, head of Morocco’s counterterrorism agency (BCIJ) Abdelhak Khiame said. Such access will help Moroccan security services better monitor radicalized youth in Europe, he said. The interview was carried out on the commemoration of the Barcelona attacks perpetrated by Spanish youth of Moroccan origins. He said that cooperation with Spanish intelligence services is “excellent,” urging other European countries to follow suit. In this regards, he deplored that French services did not contact Moroccan counterparts concerning the perpetrator of a recent terrorist attack, who was previously flagged by Moroccan services.
