RABAT, Morocco (AP) — An al-Qaida-linked militant cell planning attacks inside Morocco has been dismantled, the country announced Friday.
Morocco has been largely spared attacks by the active North African branch of the terror network, but the latest arrests suggest the group is trying to expand into this kingdom of 32 million.
A statement from the Interior Ministry said the three-man group was in close contact with the branch, known as Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb.
