Suspected jihadi recruiters arrested in Barcelona

GUARDIA CIVIL have detained two Moroccan men over their suspected links to the so-called Islamic State (ISIS).

The 25-year-old and 27-year-old men are accused of recruiting, indoctrinating and sending radicals to jihadi groups in conflict zones, according to the Interior Ministry.
