(Breitbart) A jihadist wanted by Spain on a European arrest warrant (EAW) has been apprehended by Belgian police in the no-go zone of Molenbeek, Brussels, a notorious hotbed of radical Islamist activity.
The 22-year-old jihadist had previously been sentenced to two years in prison by the Spanish courts in 2018 after being arrested the year before on charges that he had glorified terrorist attacks in France on social media.
The suspect is also said to have had a brother who joined the Islamic State terrorist group and died in combat after travelling to territory it formerly controlled in Syria and Iraq.
It is believed that the suspect’s brother contributed toward his radicalisation, Spanish newspaper La Razón reports.
