2009-07-11 |
[Maghrebia] A Moroccan court on Thursday (July 9th) ordered that 8 members of a recently dismantled Salafia Jihadia terror cell be jailed until trial, MAP reported. The group is accused of plotting to destabilise Morocco with violent strikes against tourist locations and diplomatic headquarters. Four members of the cell, including leader Abou Yassine, 34, were arrested last month on the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. |
