After Laghzioui left the DGSN, the CAB1 was formed under Mohammed Oufkir with consultancy from French and American intelligence technicians. At the time the DGSN was directed by Mohammed Laghzioui, a prominent member of the Istiqlal party. In May 1956, the CAB1 began as the 7th arrondissement of the Police in Derb Baladia, Casablanca, and was headed by Houssine Seghir, a plumber in Mers-Sultan and ex-member of a Casablanca-based resistance movement. The DST emerged from the CAB1, the counter-subversion unit or political police department of the DGSN ( Direction Général de Surveillance du Térritoire), which is the state police body of Morocco that was created in May 1956. Prior to 2005, it was known as the Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire (DST). It is tasked with the monitoring of potentially subversive domestic activities.
