One of the men caught in the Spanish capital, aged 43, maintained 'continuous and incessant contact with over 100 internet sites' aimed at training DAESH members, National Police say.
They have been on his trail for some time after discovering he was a 'prolific consumer' of 'highly-sensitive audio-visual material', including video tutorials on how to manufacture homemade explosives using easy-to-access ingredients and simple techniques.
This is considered evidence of 'an advanced state of radicalisation' and meant he was very dangerous, investigators reveal.
He and another man, aged 22, had been exposed to videos and websites aimed at teaching would-be terrorists to become what is known as inghimasi, or combat-trained individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to commit attacks in Europe using techniques seen in the recent spate of massacres in the UK, France, Belgium and Germany.
These included suicide bombing as the main modus operandi.
Both men are said to have been behind the mass distribution of recruitment, training and conversion material in a role now described as 'cyber-soldiers'.
Police say the two suspects had a very limited social circle and spent most of their time shut away in their respective homes, but were in constant contact with each other.
Ever since Spain upped its terror alert to level 4 – the highest being 5 and a military-controlled state of emergency – on June 26, 2015, police in the country have arrested 164 Jihad terror suspects both on Spanish soil and abroad.
In total, since the beginning of 2015 or in nearly two-and-a-half years, they have caught 212, none of which had come close to staging any possible attack.
As part of its pro-active campaign to nip DAESH terrorism in the bud, the interior ministry has set up a platform titled Stop Radicalismos, which can be reached via its own dedicated website, via the mobile phone App 'AlertCops', or via the anonymous free-phone telephone number 900 822 066.
