Belgian terrorist Belliraj loses Morocco appeal

[Maghrebia] Morocco on Friday (July 16th) upheld the life sentence for terror cell ringleader and admitted al-Qaeda associate Abdelkader Belliraj, MAP reported. The Sale appellate court also reduced the prison terms for several high-profile Belliraj Cell members, including al-Badil al-Hadari (Civilised Alternative) party leaders Mustapha Moatassim and Amine Regala, Hezbollah TV station Al Manar Rabat correspondent Abdelhafid Sriti and Mohamed Marouani, leader of the unrecognised Ummah (The Nation) party.

In February of 2008, Moroccan security services dismantled what they called a "major jihadist terrorist network" led by the 53-year-old Moroccan-Belgian. Belliraj and his 35 co-defendants were convicted last July for plotting terror attacks in Morocco, robberies in Europe and other crimes.

Thorough-going badmen, every single one.
