Morocco on terror alert after Europe warning

ABAT: European intelligence services have warned Morocco that terrorists are planning attacks on political, business and tourist targets in the north African country, the Al Ahdath Al Maghribia newspaper said Tuesday. “Moroccan security authorities received a message from their European counterparts warning of (potential) attacks targeting administrative, financial and tourist spots, as well as certain embassies and foreign interests in Morocco,” the newspaper said, quoting “well-informed sources”. It said the groups, which were unnamed in the report, were plotting bomb attacks and assassinations. A series of simultaneous bomb attacks in Morocco’s commercial capital Casablanca in May 2003 left 45 people dead. More than 3,000 suspected extremists have been arrested in the country since then in a campaign against Islamic militants. Members of a local extremist group, the Moroccan. AFP
