I'm glad they were smashed. I hope they continue to be smashed. It is interesting, however, that in much-vaunted moderate Morocco, there were ever 50 terror cells containing 2,000 members. From the BBC, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Morocco has arrested 44 people suspected of planning attacks in the north of the country, officials say.Police seized explosives, communication equipment and propaganda material in Casablanca and five other towns, the state news agency (Map) said.
Officials say the detainees belong to a previously unknown organisation calling itself the Mehdi Support Group.
Security forces have arrested hundreds of suspects since 2003, when 45 people died in a Casablanca suicide bombing....
Earlier this year the government said it had broken up more than 50 terrorist cells, with more than 2,000 members.
Mehdi Support Group?
Anything like IA (Islamaholics Anonymous)?
Maybe Morrocco is pulling a Reuters makeover, making something to appear other than it is. I need to see more.
Odds are that every single one of those arrested and who are now rotting in a dark, dank, squalid hellhole prison cell and drinking brown water and eating piss-gruel is, between torture sessions, dreaming of that tropical retreat known affectionately as Club Gitmo.
