Arrests made in Spain
Meanwhile, the Spanish authorities also arrested two other members who were connected and active within the same terrorist cell in Almeria.
The judicial investigations office said investigations showed that those arrested had pledged loyalty to the Daesh group and were involved in spreading and promoting extremist ideology for the purpose of recruitment.
The statement further maintained that the arrested individuals also expressed their readiness to engage in terrorist operations after they were not in a position to join the strongholds of this terrorist organization in the Sahel region, as they have relations with fighters charged with recruiting and facilitating the entry of militants.
