(Reuters) Spanish police arrested a Moroccan man in Barcelona with suspected links to Islamic State who they believed was planning a militant attack, police said on Friday.
The man, described as deeply radicalised, was arrested after a joint investigation with security forces in Morocco and the United States, police said.
“The suspect intended to carry out a terrorist act, the details of which are unknown,” police said in a statement.
The arrested man’s links to Islamic State date back at least four years, police said, though he had not displayed any outward signs of radicalisation until recently.
