Morocco’s Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations (BCIJ) arrested four individuals on Thursday, suspected of being affiliated with the terrorist organization ISIS.

Aged between 21 and 41, the suspects are believed to have been preparing to carry out terrorist plans aimed at seriously disrupting public order in the Kingdom.

The simultaneous operations took place in the cities of Salé, Tangier, and Tetouan, resulting in the seizure of electronic equipment, various blades, an ISIS flag, and extremist documents.

Initial investigations revealed that the suspects, who pledged allegiance to ISIS, were planning dangerous terrorist projects targeting vital installations in Morocco and had established connections with ISIS leaders abroad.

The four individuals are currently in custody for further investigation under the supervision of the public prosecutor in charge of terrorism and extremism cases.
