2016-10-25来源:Xinhuanet

RABAT, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Moroccan security services have arrested a sympathizer of the Islamic state (IS) group in the city of Tiflet, 30 km east of the capital Rabat, the ministry of interior said on Monday.

The suspect, who is studying engineering, has been trained on bomb making to commit a suicide attack in the kingdom, the ministry said in a statement.

His extremist orientations were confirmed following the search of his residence, which found a document containing the recipe of chemical mixture, wires and bottles used in bomb making, the statement said.

Morocco is facing a growing threat from the IS. The Moroccan interior ministry revealed that since 2002, more than 160 terrorist cells have been dismantled, which had close ties with terrorist groups active in Iraq and Syria.
