(Morocco World News) After the arrest of a Moroccan ISIS sympathizer on May 20, Spanish police have said the suspect managed to convince several youths to join the terrorist group.
Spanish media reported last week that police arrested the suspect in Bolanos de Calatrava in Spain’s Ciudad Real.
Maghreb Arab Press (MAP) quoted a statement from the Spanish police on May 23 saying the General Commissariat of Information (CGI) in Spain investigated the activity of the terror cell in collaboration with the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST) and the European Police Agency (EUROPOL).
The Moroccan mastermind of the cell managed to convince “many young people in his country who planned terror operations in Morocco and the UAE,” the statement said.
