Rabat - Morocco said on Sunday it dismantled a "terrorist cell" and seized weapons earmarked for a string of assassinations in a nationwide operation targeting supporters of the Islamic State (ISIS) jihadist group.
The announcement follows last Wednesday's attack on the national museum in the capital of fellow north African state Tunisia, claimed by ISIS, that killed 20 foreign tourists and a policeman.
The interior ministry said the operation was carried out by a newly formed judicial investigations agency, but did not specify the timing or the number of arrests.
