This article I found this week involves the dismantling of a terrorist cell within the Rif mountains in Morocco. The terrorist group was planning on setting up camp in the mountains to obviously begin training and establishing a zone. Nine different people were arrested along with a black flag that resembles Al-Qaeda. Some were placed in custody while others were taken for further investigation. Another leader was captured in France that had connections in the Casablanca bombings that killed 45 people. The group was planning to set up a fake security checkpoint and take over commercial premises to fund their projects of building explosives. I chose this because it is frankly uplifting. To know that such a small country of Morocco is capturing and dismantling terrorist group is good news. Granted, not all groups are easily stopped but this is a positive day in a somewhat negative region. I really feel confident when other countries take matters into their own hands because this is the best way to accomplish good throughout the world.
You made solid points in noting that not all the groups can be stopped. These cells pop up all the time, and there is only so many that a government can track and measure its risk level. This is good news, for the country of Morocco, it shows that they will not sit back and allow cells of this nature to start or flourish in their country.
