Islamic fundamental networks are turning Spain into a nursery for martyrs in Iraq
Yes, yes. The sons of Allan are returning to the cradle of al-Andalus.
"Spain has become the centre of a network of Al Qaeda terrorist cells, whose task is to recruit Jihad fighters prepared to die in Iraq." So said a senior police office last week, and the figures he produces would seem to support his statement. Last year alone, the police disbanded four groups dedicated to the recruitment of ‘martyrs’ for the cause, which is to perpetrate suicide attacks against the occupation forces in Iraq.

More than 50 people have been arrested by the Spanish police since June 2005, accused of belonging to terrorist cells involved in recruitment. It was then that police operations against these terrorists began, with names like Operations Tigris, Sello, La Unión, Jackal, Chameleon and Genesis. The number of recruiters arrested in Spain is almost as large as the number arrested for the same reason in the rest of the entire European Union during the same period.

The police will not put a figure on the number of Muslim residents in this country who might have joined these terrorist organisations run by the United States’ public enemy number two, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi. But there is talk of dozens of them, at least. The National Police and the Guardia Civil have identified almost 50 young radicals living in the Cataluña, Madrid, Andalucía and the Alicante regions, all of whom have disappeared from their homes and are thought to have travelled to Iraq.
