Spain: A cell connected to the Daesh militant organisation has been destroyed as a result of a joint security operation between Morocco and Spain, according to the Moroccan news agency on Wednesday. Three people from the cell were active in both nations.

One extremist member of the cell was arrested as a result of actions taken by national security forces, according to a statement from Morocco's central office for judicial investigations. In Almeria, two additional members of the same terrorist cell were also detained simultaneously by Spanish authorities.

According to the judicial office, investigations revealed that those detained had sworn allegiance to the Daesh organisation and were actively promoting extremist ideology for the purpose of recruiting new members.

As they have connections to fighters tasked with recruiting and facilitating the entry of militants, the arrested individuals also expressed their willingness to participate in terrorist operations after they were turned away from the terrorist organization's strongholds in the Sahel region.
