Morocco: Discovery of biological agents/GICM #2 arrested

By Olivier Guitta

Regarding the recent suicide attack in Casablanca on March 11 and the previous arrest of GICM #2 Saad Husseini, come the following two stories from The Croissant:

1- Discovery of biological agents in Morocco

[After the March 11 suicide bombing in a cybercafe in Casablanca and the multiple arrests, here is what was found at the bombers’ place]

The most worrying finding of Moroccan authorities is the discovery of chemicals that could have been used for large-scale terror attacks:
A microbial stock of “pathogenic Tetanus” cultivated by the terrorists was found in their hideout
This agent could cause death within 24 hours if person not inoculated with anti tetanus serum

2- GICM # 2

When talking about Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group (GICM), the Casablanca attacks or the Madrid ones in March 2004,
2 names keep on popping up:
Husseini, (GICM) #2
Mohamed Guerbouzi, GICM #1

Saad Husseini:
Arrested on March 8 while sitting in a cybercafe
Interior Ministry official said:
his arrest was not random
succeeded in making him leave his den thanks to very sophisticated techniques

Husseini’s history:
In the mid 90’s: he settled in Turkey where he met other leaders of GICM including Karim Utah
Then made it to Afghanistan via Pakistan.
Until October 2001: he remained in Afghanistan perfecting his knowledge of explosives thanks to his chemist formation
Then: he returned to Morocco
