| Morocco sentences Fath Al-Andalous terror cell members |
| 2010-01-09 |
| [Maghrebia] A Moroccan court on Thursday (January 7th) sentenced fourteen members of the Fath Al-Andalous (Reconquest of Andalusia) terror cell to prison terms of up to 15 years, MAP reported. At the time of their 2008 arrest, the Moroccans, all in their twenties, possessed chemicals and electronic equipment used to manufacture explosives and had formed links with foreign extremists in the Maghreb and Europe. Five members of the cell had reportedly been in contact with Arab Afghans, who were ready to teach them long-distance bombing techniques used in Afghanistan, Iraq and Algeria. |

| #2 Not in Morocco, JFM. The current Sultan doesn't look favorably on all the disruption these people cause. He's trying to increase tourism from Europe and raise the standard of living of his people. He's the ONLY Muslim head of state I'd even halfway trust. I'm pretty sure in this case 15 years means 15 years. |

| #1 Sentenced to 15 yars means that since they only intended to kill infidels they will be released in two years and get medals in four. |
