Security agencies in Morocco busted on Monday an ISIS-affiliated terrorist cell in the northern city of Tangier.
After receiving information about terrorist activity, security forces raided four positions in the city, arresting the primary suspect and three members of the cell.
They confiscated a number of weapons and electronic equipment.
Investigations with the suspects revealed that they sought to join ISIS training camps in the Sahel region, but failed, prompting them to turn to plotting dangerous terrorist attacks in Morocco.
Investigators also discovered a recording of one of the members pledging his allegiance to the current alleged leader of ISIS.
The Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation said the arrest underscores that terrorism is still a threat in the kingdom, warning that extremists were still plotting operations in the country.
Investigations will continue with the detainees.
