But, he authorities were informed that, while the soldier was on leave, he appeared in Afghan clothes with a beard.
As soon as he allegedly recovered and returned to work, his superiors watched him closely, and then caught him making contact with ISIS.
According to Al Sabah, the soldier was caught making a phone call to ISIS. He was arrested and taken to the regional headquarters of the Royal Gendarmerie in Marrakech for an investigation into the circumstances behind the call.
