RABAT, 7 April, 2021 (TON): Morocco’s Rabat-based General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST) said that Morocco has provided key intelligence about a planned attack on a church in France.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the DGST passed on information of a French woman of Moroccan origin on 1April, who was in the final stage of executing a suicide attack on a church.

The statement added that the French authorities made a series of arrests on 3-4 April and then neutralized the terror risks.

On Monday, police in France announced that an 18-year-old woman, her mother and three sisters were arrested on the night of April 3 as part of a probe into terrorist criminal association and possession and manufacture of explosives.

The suspect is believed to have links with the extremist group.

However, the DGST asserted that Morocco will continue to support the international cooperation of fighting against terrorism.
