Members of the Polisario Front have accused Moroccan intelligence agents of being responsible for the death of Lahbib Abdelaziz, a senior figure in the separatist movement. The allegations were made in statements to the press on June 9, 2026, but no official confirmation or evidence has been provided.
Lahbib Abdelaziz, whose exact role and date of death remain unverified, is described by Polisario sources as a key organizer. The accusations come amid ongoing tensions between Morocco and the Polisario Front over the Western Sahara dispute.
Morocco has not officially responded to the claims. Independent verification of the incident is lacking, and the circumstances surrounding Abdelaziz's death are unclear.
