Morocco Holds 15 Al-Qaeda Suspects

RABAT: Moroccan police have detained 15 Al Qaeda suspected members who were plotting to blow up sensitive targets in the North African country, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The main Arabic daily Al Massa, quoting security sources, said four of the 15 suspects came from Al Qaeda’s base in Algeria and had sneaked into Morocco to prepare “dangerous and sophisticated” terror attacks. Morocco, citing an intelligence warning of an imminent attack, last week raised its security alert to the highest level and deployed more than 5,000 police and paramilitary gendarmes to guard strategic points.

Last week Morocco raised it's alert level to maximum due to
intelligence of an imminent attack, apparently for good reason.

Certainly increased terror activity worldwide.
