The Spanish Police have arrested 14 people of Pakistani origin and busted a suspected jihadist network in the country, media reports said.
The arrests were made after an operation initiated by the General Information Commissioner’s Office on November 7.
The arrested people reportedly lived in Catalonia, Valencia, Guipúzcoa, Vitoria, Logroño and Lleida.
In the absence of official information, it is believed that these individuals formed a network in which jihadist messages and a high degree of radicalisation were transmitted online, reported Euro Weekly News.
