(Morocco World News) Spanish intelligence services are raising alarms over a mounting terrorist threat linked to the Polisario Front, as extremist factions in the Sahel expand their operations and deepen ties to radicalized individuals with European connections.
At the heart of the concern is the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP), which has emerged as one of the most violent groups operating in the region.
Security sources cited by La Vanguardia indicate that some high-ranking members of the group are Sahrawis who spent their early years in the Tindouf camps and later participated in the “Holidays in Peace” program, which allowed them to spend summers in Spain.
Now fluent in Spanish, these individuals are believed to have the potential to encourage terrorist acts on European soil.
