MOROCCO FOILS AL QAIDA CELL

CAIRO [MENL] -- Morocco has reported the capture of an Al Qaida cell.

Security sources said Moroccan authorities have arrested nine Al Qaida operatives over the last week. The sources said the operatives were part of an Al Qaida cell that planned attacks in France, Italy and Morocco.

The Moroccan state news agency MAP said Al Qaida identified several targets in Europe and North Africa. MAP cited a church in Bologna and a commuter train station in Milan. Other Al Qaida targets included French intelligence headquarters in Paris and the U.S. consulate in Rabat.

"The nine suspects, arrested and brought before the Rabat appeals court recently, are accused of setting up a criminal gang to prepare and execute terrorist attacks within the framework of collective plot," MAP said.
