Moroccan authorities on Monday arrested six members of a terrorist cell linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) which planned attacks, The Associated Press reported.

Morocco's interior ministry said the suspects were linked to an extremist cell that was dismantled earlier this month. Items seized from the suspected cell include chemicals used to make explosives; firearms, various types of ammunition, vests that could hold suicide bombs, combat batons, tear gas canisters, telecommunications devices and knives.
