On Friday, Moroccan security forces arrested a 21-year-old woman suspected of plotting a terrorist attack. The arrest took place in Rabat and was based on intelligence provided by Morocco's General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), in collaboration with French intelligence services. The woman, a student at a technical institute, had allegedly started preparing a terrorist plot targeting a religious site in Rabat.

Plot Preparation and Findings

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect had gained knowledge in bomb-making and poison preparation. Searches at her residence uncovered flammable materials, extremist literature, and books promoting intolerance. The discovery supports the claim that she was in the final stages of planning her attack.

Intelligence Cooperation

The operation highlighted the importance of intelligence cooperation between Morocco's DGST and French intelligence agencies. Their efforts enabled them to detect the plot early and prevent potential harm.

Ongoing Investigation

The arrested suspect is currently under judicial investigation to uncover the people responsible for her radicalization and recruitment. Authorities are also working to determine any links to other terrorist organizations.
