Arrested jihadists in Morocco planned 'biological' attacks. (Yahoo).
Morocco said Thursday that the
alleged members of a jihadist cell it arrested in mid-February,
including a French national, were plotting to carry out "biological"
attacks in the kingdom.
"Some
of the seized substances (from the suspects) are classified by
international organisations which specialize in health issues as falling
within the category of biological weapons dangerous for their capacity
to paralyze and destroy the nervous system and cause death," the
interior ministry said.
"Members
of the terrorist cell had prepared these deadly substances with a view
to using them in their terrorist projects inside the kingdom," it said
in a statement.
The suspects, including a Frenchman, were arrested in several towns, it
said, without giving further details on their identities.Read the full story here.
