Two suspected IS recruiters arrested in Spain

SPANISH police have arrested two Moroccan men accused of using the internet to recruit IS supporters. The two suspects were detained in Barcelona following an eight-month investigation.
It’s the latest in a string of operations in Spain against suspected backers of the Islamist movement.
In April police arrested 11 people suspected of links to IS, some of whom allegedly planned kidnappings and attacks on Jewish shops and public buildings.
Like many European countries, Spain has stepped up surveillance on individuals suspected of supporting militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq, dismantling several recruitment networks in recent months.
