Spanish Police have arrested seven people with suspected links to Islamic State and other militant groups. Officials said, the suspects were held in raids in the cities of Valencia and Alicante and in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta.
They said, the arrested people provided logistical support for terrorist activities in Iraq and Syria. Police said, the alleged leader of the cell was also asked by the IS to supply women for militants in the two countries.
Four of those arrested are Spanish nationals of Jordanian, Moroccan and Syrian origin. Another two are Syrian and Moroccan citizens. The authorities did not provide details about the seventh suspect.
