The government said its security forces had dismantled a radical Islamist cell that specialized in recruiting volunteers to fight in Iraq and had arrested 62 people. It said the group had “ideological and financial links” with Al Qaeda; the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, or G.S.P.C., a Qaeda-linked terrorist organization in Algeria; and other terrorist groups. The group’s suspected links with the the G.S.P.C. could alarm antiterrorism officials already concerned that the group is drawing in growing numbers of radical Islamists in the region and providing them with weapons and military training.
