Al Qaeda Planned EU HQ Attack

(Rabat, Morocco) According to security sources, an al-Qaeda cell of 11 terrorists, busted last month in Morocco, was plotting to attack the European Union headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The information about the terrorists was allegedly gathered after the authorities interrogated Habib Bin Ali, the suspected leader of the group. It is believed that he is a young man born in 1981 in Nador, who emigrated to Belgium together with this family.

Before planning the series of attacks, he tried to go to Iraq to join other al-Qaeda fighters but he was refused entry by the authorities and for this reason he decided to return to Belgium.

Currently he is detained in the jail in Sila, near Rabat, and before he was arrested he was allegedly the point of reference for Moroccans who want to go to Iraq to fight together with al-Qaeda.

His representatives in Belgium are an Islamic Salafite group which lives in the country and includes two Moroccans and a Tunisian.

Reportedly, some of the homicidal cell members just wanted to kill foreigners while others wanted to attend al Qaeda training camps.

Interestingly, the reporting of the story fails to focus emphasis on the apparent fact that the leadership of the cell and its interconnected associates are all Belgium citizens.
