Spanish police thwart another DAESH terrorist: Moroccan man arrested in Mallorca

His home in the Sont Gotleu neighbourhood was raided and drugs and computer equipment seized.
 
National Police inquiries reveal the accused was attempting to recruit Jihad terrorists via Facebook and Twitter, promoting fundamentalist attacks and arranging trips to Syria and Iraq for those who decided to sign up.
 
To a lesser extent, the suspect is believed to have been laying the foundations for planning bomb blasts in Spain and other parts of Europe.

Officers say the Moroccan 'maintained very close contacts with accredited terrorism leaders' based in Syria, working with them on the sending of Jihad recruits to the war-torn Middle Eastern country.
 
The suspect is said to have been a 'very real and direct threat' to national security.
 
Armed police and armour-plated vans with blacked-out windows surrounded the five-storey block at number 53 of the C/ Santa Florentina in the early hours of yesterday (Tuesday) morning, causing a sensation in the neighbourhood as at least 100 local people looked on.
 
It took five hours to inspect the flat and confiscate evidence.

MP for the Balearics, Teresa Palmer, has called for 'calm' among the population.

She points out that the police say they have now 'neutralised' the threat, and that the fact the accused has been caught before he was able to cause any real damage shows national security authorities are on top of the Jihad issue.

Sra Palmer praised Spanish police in general for their excellent work in thwarting the spread of terrorist ideology.
