Nine arrests in Catalonia over alleged Isis links

From the Spanish edition of The Local

Spanish police arrested nine people in the Catalonia region on Wednesday suspected of links to the Islamic State group, authorities said, the latest in a series of raids as European nations seek to stop jihadist recruitment.

The operation included raids in the Barcelona and Tarragona areas and those arrested are suspected of crimes “linked to jihadist terrorism, particularly to the Islamic State group,” police said in a statement.

Spanish authorities say about 100 people from Spain are suspected of having joined jihadist fighters in Iraq and Syria, and fear they may return to launch attacks.

  1. Let them go, go, go. Some will be killed, some wounded, some will not want to return, and some will want to return but shouldn’t be allowed to. Get them out of Europe any way you can.
