2010-02-02
Morocco's Supreme Court rejected the appeal of 46 members of the Ansar al-Mehdi terrorist group, MAP reported on Monday (February 1st). In March, the Salé appeals court increased the prison sentence for group leader Hassan Khattab from 25 to 30 years. Cell members, including security officials, an imam, and two wives of Royal Air Maroc pilots, were convicted in 2008 of funding terrorist operations and planning a terror campaign against the Moroccan regime.
