Spain arrests 7 for suspected al-Qaeda, IS links
Spanish police say seven people are in detention over suspected links to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State jihadist groups.
The arrests are carried out in the eastern cities of Valencia and Alicante and in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta, the police say in a statement.
“Four of those arrested are Spanish nationals of Syrian, Jordanian and Moroccan origin,” the statement says. A Syrian, a Moroccan and a seventh unidentified person are also taken into custody in the operation, which is still ongoing.
