Tanzanian police have been put on high alert after concerns were raised that youth were travelling to northern Mozambique to join the Islamic militants there.
Mozambique has been grappling with terror attacks on civilians by the militia group, which spiralled in Cabo Delgado Province last October. About 150 people have been killed since then.
