Rabat - Security services at Oujda-Angad airport arrested last Wednesday an Italian national living in Belgium for his involvement in a dangerous terrorist plot against sensitive sites in Morocco, the Interior ministry said on Monday.
The man, who adheres to ISIS ideology, tried unsuccessfully in 2014 to join the camps of this terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq before returning to Belgium, the ministry added in a statement.
Upon orders from leaders of the so-called "Islamic state", the Italian national came to Morocco in June 2015 to carry out his terrorist plot, the source pointed out, adding that the man scouted out a sensitive target site in Casablanca.
The suspect will be brought to justice at the end of the investigation, which is conducted under the supervision of the public prosecutor's office.
