The suspect published video recordings of teaching the methods of making bombs and explosive belts, the Xinhua news agency reported.
He also incited terrorist acts in the name of IS, including launching “lone wolf” attacks, it added.
The investigations also revealed that the suspect, who was preparing to carry out a suicide attack in Morocco, had been in contact with IS media leaders and their supporters abroad.
