three men for allegedly sending jihadists to join up with al-Qaeda in Syria, AFP reported.
Two suspects arrested in the central city of Fez "are implicated in recruiting Moroccan fighters for Syria", the interior ministry said in a statement.

The third suspect was nabbed in the town of Mrirt, also in central Morocco, on charges of providing funds to gangs in Syria by "hacking credit cards".
