SALE, Morocco — (AP) — Two men once held as captives at the U.S. prison camps in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and 20 other suspects faced charges Friday of allegedly recruiting people to train abroad and carry out terrorist attacks in Morocco, in a trial that has dragged on for over a year.
…
Suspects Brahim Benchekroun and Mahomed Mazouz were held at the remote U.S. Navy base in southeast Cuba from 2002 until August 2004, when they were repatriated to Morocco along with three other detainees. The pair were hit with terrorist charges upon return but released soon after on probation. They were acquitted of the charges in January.Meantime, Benchekroun and Mazouz had been rearrested in November 2005 on fresh charges of helping form a terrorist cell allegedly recruiting people to undergo paramilitary training abroad and then carry out attacks in Morocco.
Moroccan authorities say the group had relations with terrorists active on the borders of Iraq. The suspects also include alleged ringleader Khalid Azig, a Moroccan, and Mohamed Reha and his uncle, Mohamed Zemmouri, two Belgians of Moroccan origin.
Morocco has arrested thousands of alleged terrorists since suicide bombings in 2003 killed 45 people in Casablanca. Casablanca was hit by a new spate of suicide bombings in March and April as police ran to ground a cell that killed themselves with explosive belts to avoid capture.
I seem to recall that the Geneva Conventions says enemy combatants can be held for the duration of the conflict. Stupid me! I forgot that the Democrats in Congress say there no longer is a War on Terror so that must be the reason we let these two terrorists combatants suspects ago.
