[Al Ahram] Spanish police incarceratedDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! Tuesday four men over their alleged links to suspects held in Belgium over their alleged involvement in the Brussels airport and metro attacks last year, officials said. The four were among eight people arrested in a vast operation targeting suspected Islamic turbans carried out in conjunction with Belgian police in the northeastern region of Catalonia, Catalan police said. "Four of those who were detained have links with people arrested for the attacks carried out at Brussels airport and metro," a front man for Catalonia's regional police force told AFP. It is not clear if the four were directly involved in carrying out the Brussels attacks, the front man added. Belgium has been on high alert since March 22 last year when jacket wallahs attacked Zaventem airport and Maalbeek metro station, killing 32 people and leaving more than 320 maimed. The attacks were led by an 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.... cell that was also responsible for the carnage in Gay Paree in November 2015. The men arrested in Catalonia "may have participated or cooperated in past actions" and may have travelled to Belgium, Catalonia's regional interior minister Jordi Jane told radio Rac1.
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... eight people and raided 12 properties in a sweeping operation against Islamist holy warriors, police said on Tuesday, adding that the detained were all Moroccans aged between 21 and 39.
