The Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group, known by the French acronym GICM (Groupe Islamique Combattant Marocain), was a Sunni Islamist militant organization that operated in Morocco, North Africa, and Western Europe. The organization's objective was to establish an Islamic government in Morocco.[1]
GICM was established in 1998 after Arab Afghan veteran fighters, who had fought alongside the Afghan Mujahideen, returned to Morocco with the objective of forming a militant organization. GICM and its associated members have been linked to the 2003 Casablanca bombings and the 2004 Madrid train bombings. A major crackdown against the organization's numerous cells in Europe is thought to have since significantly damaged the GICM's capabilities.[1] By 2013, the group had become defunct, with the United States no longer considering it a functional organization.[5]
