Girl Power: all-female Islamic State cell dismantled in Morocco

“Morocco says arrests 10 suspected female Islamic State militants,” Reuters, October 3, 2016:

“Morocco has dismantled a suspected Islamic State militant cell and arrested 10 women believed to be planning attacks in the North African kingdom, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.

It was the latest in a series of militant cells Morocco says it has broken up, but it is the first time authorities have arrested a group of female suspects.

An Interior Ministry statement said the cell was operating in several regions including the cities of Kenitra and Tangier.

It said the cell members reflected an Islamic State effort to integrate female militants for attacks in the kingdom and they were inspired by the brother of one of them who was involved in bombings in Iraq earlier this year.

Morocco’s Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ), the judicial arm of the domestic intelligence service, seized chemicals and bomb-making materials in one of the suspects’ houses, the statement said.

The BCIJ has actively tracked alleged militants since Islamic State seized large parts of Syria and Iraq in 2014-2015.

Hundreds of fighters from Morocco and other Maghreb states – Tunisia and Algeria – have joined Islamist militant forces in Syria’s civil war. Some are threatening to return and create new jihadist wings in their home countries, security experts say.

Nearby Libya has become a major draw for jihadists from North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa as Islamic State has taken advantage of widespread chaos there to build a base, operate training camps and take over the city of Sirte.

The Moroccan government believes 1,500 Moroccan nationals are fighting with militant factions in Syria and Iraq. About 220 have returned home and been jailed, while 286 have been killed in battle.

Morocco, an ally in the Western campaign against Islamist militancy, has suffered attacks itself in the past, most recently in 2011 in Marrakesh when an explosion tore through a cafe and killed 15 people, mostly foreigners.”

    They look like the nine ring wraths from Lord of the Rings. And just as evil.

      “Slave rags” you say ? Surely “Anti-rape robes”……

    Are we sure they are all women? It’s kind of hard to tell under the bedsheets they are wearing to hide their identities…

    • eur says

      Oct 4, 2016 at 3:22 am

      well many of them we know they are women because wear hijab/veil…in another case there is not visual differences between a moroccan man and a woman.If they are syrians,libaneese or wherever you can glimpse a woman but moroccans women are very ugly…well men also are unpleasant to see but women…they do not have feminine traits.

    …no need of “islamophobia” to boost the thought of those “girls” being dressed up for something criminal… It’s written in their eyes, the little we are allowed to see of them – “we will commit crimes in the name of our trinity – the book, the prophet and the god!”

  11. Matthieu Baudin says

    It’s worth taking a close look at the success of the authorities in Morocco to infiltrate violent jihadist cells and to maintain reasonable relations with the population at large. We seem to spend most of our efforts reacting to social implosions in North Africa and the Middle East while perhaps not paying enough attention to those shrinking number of communities that are relatively stable. How has this relative success in maintaining a higher level of human decency and order been achieved? Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan and perhaps the Lebanon may be worth some closer attention?

    Hidden gender with hidden agendas.

    Do they wear clothes and underwear under the rags?

    “Morocco says arrests 10 suspected female Islamic State militants”

    Wait – I only count 9 in the pic!

    Maybe they made the tenth one into the flag they’re holding?

      The prettiest one was actually a male in drag and was kicked out of the group.
      The one holding the flag is kind of cute as well in a bashful coquettish sort of way.

      the tenth is taking the picture, they do not know how to use the timer.
