RABAT // Morocco has arrested eight members of a group that allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIL and was planning attacks inside the country.
The interior ministry said on Tuesday that the suspects were arrested in the northern cities of Tangier and Taounate as well as the towns of Khouribga and Bouznika.
They were in contact with the radical group based in Iraq and Syria.
It said the cell planned to host ISIL fighters travelling to Morocco so that they could carry out attacks on security personnel and other targets to destabilise the country.
