Morocco arraigns Ceuta terror cell suspects

2009-06-30

Four suspected members of a Salafia Jihadia cell dismantled last week in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta were arraigned Monday (June 29th) in Sale, MAP reported. Three Spanish nationals of Moroccan origin and alleged cell leader Abou Yassin were remanded into custody on multiple terrorism, drug trafficking and theft charges. The cell had allegedly established relations with French terrorist Robert Richard Antoine Pierre, alias Abou Abderrahmane, and other terrorists in Sweden, Morocco and Afghanistan.

In related news, a Spanish delegation heard testimony Monday in Sale from Mohamed Belhadj, 31, extradited from Syria last May on suspicion of involvement in the deadly 2004 Madrid bombings. The hearing was attended by the Moroccan judge on terrorism cases. The Spanish judges will also take fingerprints and DNA samples from Belhadj.

The car which they seized in Tetouan for drugs, the so called security officers who protect the state have arrested Hihi because the car number is in his name. Four days later, they arrested the real owner of the vehicle because the chassis number was in his name. They asked him to pay eight millions and he accepted. Then he left the judiciary police of Tetouan, terrorist cells, hahahaha.
