Morocco Takes Down Drug Traffic Ring Linked to Terrorists - War On Terror News

The Moroccan government is calling for regional action in the face of growing collaboration between drug traffickers and terrorists in the Sahel.

Morocco's Interior Ministry confirmed Friday in Rabat that police had arrested 34 members of an international drug trafficking ring that had ties to the terrorist group, al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb.

Authorities said the traffickers, who also had links to South American drug cartels, were transporting cocaine and marijuana from South America to Europe, via North Africa.
