Morocco dismantles terrorist group led by Palestinian
0 
Moroccan security authorities have dismantled a terrorist group led by a Palestinian national, state- run MAP news agency reported Monday.
The network was composed of 11 militants who adopted "Takfiri" ideology -- accusing other Muslims of apostasy for not following strict Islamic law. The suspects were planning terrorist attacks in the kingdom, the agency said, citing a statement by the Interior Ministry.
The suspects will be put to trial after investigation, the statement said. However, it did not give details on where and when the group was nabbed.
Morocco's security forces have been on alert since a series of suicide bombings rocked Casablanca in 2003, leaving 45 people dead. Police said they broke up over 60 Islamist cells since then, with more than 2,000 terrorists having been sent to jail after standing trials.
