USA cancels call for vigilance to its citizens in Morocco
Morocco-USA, Politics, 7/13/2001

The US state department canceled this Friday a call for vigilance launched for its citizens in Morocco following further evaluation regarding possible terrorist actions in Morocco.

A statement by the state department, released this Friday, says "the public announced for Morocco of July 9, 2001 is hereby cancelled following further evaluation of the information regarding possible terrorist actions in Morocco."

On Thursday, a Moroccan official source has termed as "baseless" the warning issued by the United States to its citizens in Morocco to increase safety and security measures for fear of presumed terrorist activities.

Morocco does not understand the nature of such a warning, the source told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat daily.

Another "high ranking" Moroccan security source denied in statements to local Al-Ahdat Al-Maghribya daily, the existence of any threats against American interests nor against those of any other country in Morocco.

Information on these threats are purely sensational, said the source.
