[Maghrebia] Five Moroccans face trial in Algeria next month for allegedly trying to join al-Qaeda, El Khabar reported on Monday (May 25th). Algerian authorities reportedly tracked the suspects to Algiers, Boumerdes, Tizi Ouzou and Bejaia. The Moroccans allegedly told an imam they were in those cities to make contact with jihadist groups. The suspects, however, denied terrorism accusations, telling investigators that they travelled to Algeria as illegal immigrants in transit to Italy.
