| Spain Arrests Suspected Jihadist about to Head to Syria |
| 2015-10-21 |
[AnNahar] A 22-year-old Spanish woman suspected of trying to reach Syria to join Islamist faceless myrmidons was incarceratedDrop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! on Tuesday at Madrid airport before boarding a flight to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , police said. The woman is originally from the southwestern province of Huelva and had converted "to the most extreme form of Islam and allegedly maintained contact with radical elements", they said in a statement. "The woman had planned to travel to Turkey and then go to Syria to join the ranks of Daesh [Islamic State]," police added, using the Arabic name for the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. She was the latest of several suspected female IS sympathizers detained in Spain since last year over security concerns. In September police arrested an 18-year-old Moroccan woman accused of preparing to travel to Syria to join the group, and in July a woman was arrested in the Canary Islands accused of recruiting maidens of tender years and facilitating their passage to areas controlled by IS. Like other European nations, Spain has made clamping down on radicalized Islamist cells a priority, but it has been unable to stem the flow of people out of the country to join IS in Syria and Iraq. It estimates that around 100 nationals have joined jihadist fighters in the two countries, a lower number than those from Britannia, La Belle France and Germany. Officials fear they may return to launch attacks on Spanish soil. In March 2004, Al-Qaeda-inspired bombers blew up four packed commuter trains in Madrid, killing 191 people. |

| #1 I don't understand this. Give them a rousing sendoff and invite lots of their friends join them. Take their pictures and prints and don't let any of them come back. Oh yeah, circulate the info to all so they don't sneak back. |
