Africa-Press – Senegal. The overwhelming majority of daily newspapers received by the Senegalese Press Agency on Saturday deal primarily with an aborted plan for a large-scale Molotov cocktail attack in Dakar and its suburbs.
“Dakar is close to hell”, headlines the Bés Bi le Jour newspaper about a planned attack with a Molotov cocktail. The newspaper which retraces the « film of a spectacular attack », insists on a large-scale project meticulously by individuals armed with Molotov cocktails that the Urban Security thwarted.
“A group of people whose brains have been shut down. He targeted several districts of Dakar including the city center of the capital, Pikine, Yoff, Keur Mbaye Fall, Parcelles assainies, the VDN, the toll highway and other strategic places, ”reports the publication.
« La police arrête une dizaine de personnes dans un projet d’actes terroristes », signale le journal Enquête. Traitant un communiqué du Bureau des relations publiques de la Police, le journal fait état de l’arrestation d’un groupe de personnes qui allait « perpétrer des actes terroristes à Dakar ».
Ce qui fait dire au journal le Quotidien que la Sûreté urbaine a tout simplement « déjoué un attentat à Dakar ». Le journal du groupe A venir communication explique que les 11 personnes logeaient à Sam Notaire dans la banlieue dakaroise. « Il leur est reproché d’avoir voulu poser des actes terroristes », précise le journal.
Le Soleil qui parle « d’actes assimilables à du terrorisme », va plus loin en informant que les personnes interpelées sont passés aux aveux en balançant deux maires.
“Urban security dismantled groups of more than twenty individuals who wetted two mayors of Dakar communes,” writes Le Soleil.
“Two weeks after the subversive intrigues which bloodied Dakar and Ziguinchor, the defense and security forces have not let go in their pursuit of individuals who have committed acts of terrorism (…) the leaders of this neutralized band, were in intelligence with politicians, ”reports the Sun.
The newspaper l’Observateur, which judges that the confessions are « terrifying », explains that those arrested were part of « a dozen secret cells which foresee attacks in various points of Dakar (…) these leaders of secret cells were arrested and placed under arrest warrant with an arsenal of exhibits », informs the Observer.
Two weeks ago, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a minibus carrying passengers between Kounoune and Colobane, in the Dakar region. It left two dead and five injured.
