The group, which according to MAP had links with similar organisations in Algeria, Mauritania, France, Spain, and countries in the Middle East, had plotted to attack tourist locations in Agadir as well as a military barracks in Laayoune, the principal city in the Western Sahara region.
国営MAPは、この過激派がアルジェリアやモーリタニア、フランス、スペイン、そして中東各国の同様の組織と関係があり、アガディールの観光地への襲撃や西サハラ地域の主要地区Laayouneでの兵舎テロを計画実行したと報じた。
