Algeria.. A sabotage plot was uncovered and 61 Moroccans, including a former soldier, were arrested

According to Al-Shorouk newspaper, the detainees were planning to carry out acts of sabotage that would affect security and stability within the country.

According to what was reported by Algerian official television on Sunday evening, preliminary investigations revealed that among those arrested was a former soldier in the Moroccan army, and that the group was planning to commit acts that would disrupt security and public order.

Investigations indicated that members of the network infiltrated Algerian territory after arriving by air at Tunis International Airport, where they took advantage of the rugged mountain paths and isolated forest paths in the Kala area in the El Tarf state adjacent to the Tunisian border, before moving overland towards the Oran state in the west of the country in preparation for implementing its plans.

The security operation, carried out by the judicial police, resulted in the seizure of a number of Moroccan passports and sums of money in Moroccan dirhams and euros. The suspects were referred to the competent public prosecutor in Oran to be tried before the Algerian judiciary.
