MADRID
— Police in northeastern Spain say they have arrested 10 people for
suspected links to jihadi terror activity and the Islamic State armed
group.
A
Catalan regional police statement said the arrests took place Wednesday
in five northeastern towns, including the regional capital of
Catalonia, Barcelona.
It
said some 360 Mossos d'Esquadra regional police officers took part in
13 raids in one of the region's biggest operations against jihadi
activity. The operation was coordinated by the National Court in Madrid.
Spain has arrested dozens of suspected jihadi militants and recruiters in recent years.
Last
week, police in Catalonia arrested four members of a family, including
16-year-old twin boys who were allegedly about to travel to Syria to
become jihadi fighters.
