Morocco Breaks Up ISIS-Sahel Cell With Functional Explosives and Coordinated Attack Plan

Morocco's counterterrorism agency arrested 10 members of an ISIS-Sahel Province cell planning a coordinated attack using pressure-cooker improvised explosive devices, a rigged vehicle, and bladed weapons. The operational sophistication—working explosives, weaponized transport—surpasses previous foiled plots. With roughly 130 Moroccan nationals recently recruited by ISIS-Sahel, the acceleration suggests external networks are converting diaspora recruits into actionable cells faster than before.
