Seven people have been arrested in Spain on suspicion of supplying weapons and bomb-making to ISIS
Seven people have been arrested in Spain on suspicion of supplying weapons and bomb-making equipment to ISIS leaders in Syria and Iraq.
Six men were held during dawn raids today in Alicante, Valencia and Spain’s north African enclave of Ceuta, with a seventh person arrested later in the morning.
Spain’s acting Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said they were believed to be part of a terrorist jihadist group that sent the weapons in shipping containers, disguised as humanitarian aid workers. Four of those being held are Spanish but of Syrian, Jordanian and Moroccan origin. The other two, Spanish residents, are Syrian and Moroccan.
