Authorities have dismantled a six-member terror
cell that was planning attacks in the North African kingdom, Morocco's official
news agency says.
The six suspected Islamists were active in
several cities and "planned to commit terrorist acts inside national
territory," the MAP agency says, quoting a statement from the national
police.
The cell's members will be tried after an
investigation, the report says.
Morocco has led a crackdown on suspected terrorists
since 2003, when al-Qaeda-linked extremists killed 45 people in a string of
attacks in Casablanca, the country's economic center.
