DAR AL HARB/ISLAM - LEBANON: THE FATAH AL ISLAM, FIGHTING THE LEBANESE ARMY, IS MADE UP OF MOROCCANS

Moroccans members in Fatah Al-Islam

RABAT, May 29 (KUNA) -- A number of members of Fatah Al-Islam faction, a militant group locked up in current clashes with Lebanese Army troops in northern Lebanon, are Moroccans, a daily said in its edition published on Tuesday.

"Al-Haraka" said the Moroccans, who advocate thoughts of Al-Qaeda, either sneaked into Lebanon by land or were part of camouflaged groups that used to travel to the country by air from Iraq.

The recently-surfaced group is reportedly a cocktail of Arab nationals, advocating Al-Qaeda thoughts.
