A joint Spanish Moroccan operation dismantled a jihadist cell linked to Daesh, arresting nine radicalized members. Spanish police considered the group a “real threat”, with plans to carry out violent acts on Spanish soil, according to ABC. Spain's Central Investigating Court No. 1 ordered the incarceration of six suspects detained in Spain. The operation involved Spain's General Intelligence Commissariat, Morocco's BCIJ, and the DGST, highlighting international cooperation in combating terrorism.
