[Maghrebia] A Sale court on Thursday (November 19th) postponed the trial of 15 alleged terror cell members until January 7th, MAP reported. At the time of their arrests last August, the "Fath Al Andalous" (Reconquest of Andalusia) terror cell suspects reportedly possessed chemicals and electronic equipment used to manufacture explosives. Officials said the men, all Moroccan nationals in their twenties, planned to carry out attacks in Morocco and had already formed links with foreign extremists linked with al-Qaeda.
Five members of the cell had reportedly been in contact with Arab Afghans, who were ready to teach them long-distance bombing techniques used in Afghanistan, Iraq and Algeria.
| Arab Afghans would be Al Qaeda, of course. I wonder why Maghrebia chose to use the old-style name? |
