Morocco Tough on Laundering to Terrorism
The Parliament of Morocco is currently writing a bill on the floor to make it illegal to finance terrorist organizations. The draft bill was proposed in the Justice Committee in the House of Representatives. The legistlation will be in line with already present international law on the same matter. The Interior Minister, Mohand Laesner, states that the country has made great progress in tackling terrorism and money laundering to terrorist organizations. It will even be a crime if the terrorist attack that was funded by Moroccans occurs outside the country or even if it doesn't occur at all. Ever since the terrorist attack in May 2003 in Casablanca, Morocco has been large support of counterterrorism.

With Western support of Morocco, this seems like something that should have been tackled awhile ago. Regardless, its good to know that they think terrorism is bad because I agree.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well. Morocco should have mirrored its stance towards terrorism to the international community's awhile ago. But Morocco's current efforts could demonstrate a new possibilities for a region that experience so much hostile activity from these organizations. Morocco's activities could also influence a regional effort against terrorist activity.
ReplyDeleteI also agree. Morocco should have done something about the issue of terrorism much earlier, but I guess it's better late than never. Hopefully its neighbor states follow Morocco by taking counter-terrorism initiatives.
