• Terrorism: The Police detain a commando of former jihadist fighters in Barcelona

The reinforcement judge of the National Court,

Alejandro Abascal

, has ordered the three presumed jihadists arrested last Friday in

Barcelona to be

imprisoned without bail

.

They are two Libyan citizens and a Moroccan who had arrived in Barcelona with the intention of preparing attacks and who are attributed a crime of integration into a terrorist organization.

Sources of the investigation consulted by EL MUNDO, explain that the terrorists arrived in Spain by boat -through the province of Almería- from Algeria and crossed the country by car to Barcelona.

Two of them settled in Barcelona with the help of a "facilitator", the third of the detainees who was unconditionally sent to prison on Monday, who took care of finding them a home in Barcelona.

Meanwhile, a fourth terrorist crossed the border to France, where he was detained by the French police authorities, the sources consulted indicate.

As this newspaper reported, the detainees were extremely dangerous and were part of a command.

In fact, one of them was included in the list of former combatants who left for Syria to join

Daesh's

lists

and would have been fighting in that country.

Sources of the anti-terrorist fight specify that the ex-combatant jihadists are "the most dangerous" since they return from areas where they have already carried out violent actions and where they are being trained militarily.

It was the

FBI

itself

that alerted the Spanish police intelligence services of their danger.

The investigators work with the hypothesis that the three detainees formed a cell that was finalizing a terrorist action in our country because they activated mobile phones, which would be used to carry out their actions and that they have been seized at the entrances and police records , on December 23, on the eve of Christmas Eve.

The investigations and the operation have been carried out by the

General Information Commissariat

in coordination with the

Central Court of Instruction Number 6

of the National Court.

The case remains under summary secret.
