RABAT, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- The Moroccan police have arrested four people with suspected links to the Islamic State (IS) in the northern city of Fez, Morocco's Interior Ministry said on Wednesday.
The ministry said in a statement that the arrested were planning attacks in this tourist destination and spiritual center.
Military uniform, knives and documents calling for jihad were seized during the operation, it said.
This operation comes less than two weeks after security services arrested 11 people in the city and seized chemical materials used for making bombs.
According to Moroccan authorities, security services have busted around 50 terrorist cells, over 40 of which were linked to the IS group, since 2015.
