Terrorist attack on Rabat religious site thwarted

A coordinated security operation between Morocco and France successfully thwarted a terrorist plot targeting a religious site in Rabat. Last Friday, June 28, the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations (BCIJ), part of Morocco's General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), arrested a 21-year-old female student linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) who was planning the attack. During a search of the individual's home, DGST forces recovered flammable substances, extremist manifestos advocating violence, and books promoting intolerance and takfir ideology, all confirming the violent ideological underpinning of the plot. This event took place on 06/30/2025 at the following location: Rabat, Morocco.
