2009-10-18 |
![]() In separate criminal court proceedings in Morocco, three suspected members of a terrorist recruiting network were arraigned on Thursday (October 15th), bringing the number of defendants in the case to 28, MAP reported. Last month, Moroccan authorities dismantled a terrorist network that allegedly recruited suicide bombers and guerrilla fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan. Meanwhile, another terrorism-recruiting trial in Tunisia on Friday resulted in sentences of up to six years for nine men. The defendants were convicted of trying to join al-Qaeda fighters in Iraq, Reuters quoted defence lawyer Samir Ben Amor as saying. No further information was released. |
