In response to the humanitarian crisis that Ceuta is currently experiencing after the entry of 70,000 migrants on July 30, the hacker group Jabaroot is threatening to reveal the agents’ identities who work in the Moroccan intelligence services. Well, they are considered responsible for planning the attack against Spain.
The threat came last Tuesday night through their Telegram channel, where they claimed to have the identity of 70,000 workers of the General Directorate of Territorial Supervision (DGST), a body headed by Abdelatif Hammouchi, who is also the top police chief (DGSN). To demonstrate the veracity of their information, the group attached a small list with names, dates of birth and identity documents of a group of agents, according to what “El Confidencial” reported.
The group accuses Fouad Ali el Himma, the king’s advisor, of having planned the attack
The main reason for this threat would be due to the massive entry experienced in Ceuta a few weeks ago, an attack that, according to hackers, would have been planned by Fouad Ali el Himma, advisor to King Mohammed VI, and another politician whose name they have not yet wanted to reveal. Despite thisthe king of Morocco, they claim, was not aware of the events that were going to take place in the Spanish city.
“They are the ones who have planned the attack to put Spain in a difficult situation“, they stated in one of the messages sent by their Telegram group. Likewise, they affirm that “everything happened with the knowledge of a large country and another fictitious state“. According to the Spanish media, these mentions could refer to the United States, Rabat being one of its main military and intelligence partners, and to Israel.
According to the hacker group, Hammaouchi would be the one who would have carried out the attack against Spain and ask for his resignation. “We will reveal the true identities of the DGST agents as well as their ranks. You can verify the authenticity of this information before resigning… You better turn in your badge and walk away, you loser. Your time here is over“, they wrote in the message attached to the image with the agents’ data.
