Spain smashes jihadist ring operating in 17 jails
2018-10-03
[IsraelTimes] Police in Spain dismantle a group that allegedly indoctrinated and recruited jihadists at 17 prisons across the country, the interior ministry says.

Police have questioned 25 prisoners in different jails who are "accused of being part of a group close to ISIS which was dedicated to radicalizing other prisoners," the ministry says in a statement, using an Arabic acronym 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....
(IS) group.

The majority were Moroccans or Spanish nationals of Moroccan origin, a Spanish anti-terrorism source tells AFP. The rest were Spanish nationals who had converted to Islam and a Danish national.

The ring, which was made up of prisoners with a history of jihadism or who were themselves radicalized while behind bars, also sought to unite prisoners serving time for terrorist crimes in a so-called "Prison Front."

The ministry does not give details of the group’s activities but the anti-terrorism source says the ring did not have a "concrete plan" to carry out an attack. But it created a "belligerent state of mind towards prison staff."
