(National-UAE) Five people have been arrested in Spain on charges of grooming potential ISIS recruits and funding the organisation in Libya.
In two separate anti-terrorist operations, Spanish national police swept on suspects in Barcelona, Girona, Valencia and Melilla, one of two Spanish cities in North Africa that has a border with Morocco.
Two people were arrested in Melilla for allegedly recruiting young fighters for ISIS.
Police began the grooming investigation, Operation Farcol, two years ago after discovering ISIS indoctrination videos that are believed to have been created and distributed by the two suspects.
Three people were arrested, one each in Barcelona, Girona and Valencia, and charged with helping to fund ISIS in Libya.
