| [Iran Press TV] Authorities in Morocco have detained a man suspected of operating for the ISIS Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group, saying he was allegedly involved in a plot on the French soil. The Moroccan Interior Ministry said on Saturday that the unidentified man had been cooperating with a terror cell that was busted in La Belle France in November, adding that the cell was plotting to carry out an attack in Gay Paree on Thursday. A group of seven men were placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! in the French cities of Strasbourg and Marseille on November 19 and 20, with authorities saying later that the men had been in contact with a commander in Iraq or Syria. Moroccan officials said the arrested ISIS operative had been linking the group's members stationed on the Syrian-Turkish border with members of the cell in La Belle France, transferring instructions from leaders of ISIS in Syria to the faceless myrmidons in the French territory. La Belle France has been the main victim of ISIS attacks on the European soil in the recent past. Gay Paree saw the deadliest of all in November 2015, when 130 people were killed in a matter of night across the capital city by ISIS operatives. ISIS has European nationals of the African origin within its ranks, including many from Morocco. Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a 28-year-old Belgian of Moroccan origin, was the main suspect for orchestrating the attacks in Gay Paree and cities in Belgium. The Moroccan intelligence helped put French Sherlocks on the trail of Abaaoud last year. |
