Morocco to investigate allegations by 'Front of Liberation of Moroccan Algeria'

The Prosecutor of the First Instance Court of Rabat has decided to open an inquiry into the alleged "Front of Liberation of Moroccan Algeria," an organization so far unknown in Morocco that claimed to have conducted attacks in Algerian territory.

In a press release published Sunday night, the Prosecutor said he took this decision "following information published by some newspapers and containing serious data from a so-called organization calling itself "Front de Liberation de l'Algerie marocaine" in which it claimed having waged attacks on Algerian territory."

The press release said that given the fact that such "tendentious allegations might sow confusion and trouble in different spheres and might constitute a harm that only serves the enemies of our country," the prosecutor has decided to investigate the matter with Alouah Mohamed "who presides an illegal organization and who was the author of this communique, and to refer him to court."

Sources from the Moroccan ministry of justice said that Alouah's party has no legal existence.
