| Morocco postpones Salafia Jihadia terror cell trial |
| 2010-01-16 |
| [Maghrebia] A Moroccan court on Thursday (January 14th) postponed the trial of 12 alleged members of a Salafia Jihadia terror cell until February 4th in order to give defence attorneys more time, MAP reported. The defendants, including a police commissioner and two police officers, are accused of financing terrorism, drug trafficking, theft and other criminal activities. Information provided by Spanish intelligence officials reportedly helped Moroccan authorities dismantle the group last June. Accused cell leader Abou Yacine previously served prison time for ties to the Ansar el Mehdi terror group. |
