Une "cellule terroriste" démantelée, 9 personnes arrêtées. Le ministère marocain de l'Intérieur a annoncé jeudi l'arrestation de neuf membres d'une "cellule terroriste" qui élaborait un camp d'entraînement dans la région montagneuse du Rif afin de préparer des attaques contre "les autorités publiques".
Parmi les personnes interpellées, cinq ont été placées en détention provisoire et les quatre autres sont toujours en garde à vue "pour complément d'enquête", a précisé le ministère dans un communiqué cité par l'agence MAP. Cette opération fait suite à l'arrestation le 17 octobre de deux personnes accusées d'avoir préparé le meurtre d'une voyante à Salé, près de Rabat. Les autorités avaient alors parlé de deux militants salafistes. L'enquête a révélé "au grand jour un plan ourdi par des membres d'une cellule terroriste démantelée visant à installer un camp d'entraînement dans la chaîne montagneuse du Rif (...) dans le but de perpétrer des actes terroristes contre les autorités publiques", affirme le ministère.
