In a dangerous development that reflects the extent to which the Daesh terrorist organization is targeting Morocco’s stability, intelligence sources revealed new and shocking details about the magnitude of the terrorist plot that was thwarted at the last moment, as the organization was seeking to plunge Morocco into a spiral of violence and chaos by carrying out unprecedented bloody operations.
Terrifying scenarios: Assassinations, arson and total chaos
According to the investigations, members of the terrorist cell were planning to lure and kidnap security personnel for the purpose of brutally liquidating them and defacing their bodies to spread terror on the Moroccan street, tactics inspired by the practices of terrorist organizations in conflict zones.
The plan also included targeting strategic facilities such as security and economic headquarters and foreign institutions through carefully planned explosions to create a state of chaos.
More seriously, investigations revealed that the cell members were planning to set fires in sensitive places in order to paralyze the economy and create a national crisis, as they received direct instructions from a senior ISIS leader in the Sahel branch, who personally oversaw the funding and logistical support of this cell.
ISIS was betting on hitting Morocco before the 2030 World Cup
Security sources did not rule out that the timing of the terrorist plot was part of a strategy to damage Morocco’s image as a stable country, especially with the massive preparations to host the 2030 World Cup.
The terrorist organization was betting on carrying out these operations to cause chaos and destabilization, and send a threatening message to the international community that the region is not safe, which explains the great support the cell received from senior leaders within ISIS in Africa.
How was the plot thwarted before disaster struck?
Thanks to the vigilance of the Moroccan security services, a quality pre-emptive operation, which included precise and simultaneous interventions in several cities, neutralized the members of the terrorist cell before they were able to carry out their heinous crimes.
The searches also revealed ready-made explosive equipment, dangerous white weapons, and chemicals involved in the manufacture of explosives, which confirms that the cell was in the final stages before implementation, and without this qualitative operation, Morocco would today be living one of the worst bloody chapters in its modern history.
Moroccan intelligence uncovers a larger regional threat
The security services’ investigations were not limited to dismantling the cell, but revealed a larger regional terrorist plot extending from the Sahel region to Morocco, as terrorist organizations seek to move chaos to the north, taking advantage of the tense security situation in some countries in the region.
Are we facing a new wave of terrorism?
Despite the strong security blow to ISIS, the big question remains: Was this cell the only one, or are there other cells in the process of forming, waiting for orders?
Security vigilance continues, and Morocco reaffirms that it is at the center of the confrontation against global terrorism, which calls for strengthening security and intelligence efforts to ensure that the country is protected from any potential threat.
