Morocco

Police arrested 35 members of an al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb-linked group known as Salafiya Jihadiya. The group recruited more than 30 jihadists and sent them to fight in Iraq, and was also planning terror attacks inside Morocco. Salafiya Jihadiya also has links to terror outfits in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey.
