in the Spanish north African territory of Ceuta on suspicion of recruiting youth to fight 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Syria, the interior ministry said Saturday.

The 34-year-old Ceuta resident, arrested at dawn in the Mediterranean peninsula bordering Morocco, "was carrying out recruitment and indoctrination of youths with a vulnerable profile," the ministry said in a statement.

He offered them "help to travel to conflict zones and join the Daesh [Islamic State] terrorist organization," it said, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

The suspect was known for "his adherence to Salafist ideology," it said, referring to a fundamentalist branch of Islam.

The ministry has said it has arrested around 100 suspected jihadists this year.

Spain has been on a heightened anti-terror alert -- level four of a possible five -- since June.
