Judicial police forces from Midelt (central Morocco) and Douar Douibat in Youssoufia (central west-Morocco) arrested on Friday two extremists affiliated with the terrorist organization “Daesh,” announced the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations (BCIJ).
Based on insights provided by the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), this operation forms part of ongoing efforts to address the dangers of extremism and terrorist threats targeting the Kingdom’s security and the safety of its citizens, the BCIJ says in a press release.
Preliminary findings from the investigation, supported by security surveillance operations, revealed that the two suspects, aged 19, had pledged allegiance to the so-called emir of the terrorist organization “Daesh,” with the intention of carrying out imminent terrorist attacks as part of “lone wolf jihad” aimed at seriously undermining the safety of individuals, public order, and vital infrastructure, the release specifies.
The two suspects have been taken into custody pending their transfer to the BCIJ to conduct a criminal investigation under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office responsible for terrorism cases, in order to determine the full extent of their extremist activities and to establish any possible links with various terrorist organizations.
