Washington - Morocco is "one of the closest partners" of the United States in the fight against terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa, said Wednesday in Washington, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for The Near East Affairs, William Roebuck. 

"Thanks to the holistic counter-terrorism strategy adopted by Morocco and which include implementing vigilant security measures, a regional and international cooperation, an approach to socio-economic assistance, and policies standing in the way of religious extremism, it was difficult for Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb to settle in the Kingdom," welcomed the senior U.S.official.

Roebuck was speaking at a hearing before the Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress, devoted to U.S. policy vis-à-vis Morocco.
