Spain uncovers al Qaeda network for Syrian jihadists

Posted on 14:00 by Unknown

Al Qaeda has been active in Spain for at least two decades. In the 1990s, al Qaeda's cell in Spain was headed by a Syrian named Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, a.k.a. Abu Dahdah, who was later found to have had foreknowledge of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

In raids conducted earlier today, Spanish authorities arrested eight suspected members of an al Qaeda network who are allegedly involved in training, funding, and facilitating travel for jihadist fighters to Syria. The network is based in the Spanish territory of Ceuta and in the city of Fnideq in neighboring Morocco.

Authorities have not yet disclosed the names or nationalities of those arrested, but they are all Spanish citizens, the BBC reported. The network has apparently funneled "dozens" of fighters to Syria, where some have taken part in suicide attacks and others have joined training camps. The network recruited fighters from various parts of Spain as well as Morocco and Ceuta, which has a population of 80,000, half of whom are Muslim.
