Spain arrests suspected ISIS supporter in joint operation with Morocco’s DGST

Spanish authorities have arrested a suspected supporter of the terrorist group ISIS in Córdoba,southern Spain,in a counterterrorism operation carried out in coordination with Morocco’s General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST).

The suspect was identified through close intelligence-sharing between the Civil Guard and the DGST,with investigators citing his “intense activity” on social media in support of Daesh propaganda,the Spanish Civil Guard said on Thursday.

Held under a court order,the individual is considered a potential security threat due to his prolonged exposure to violent jihadist content,the Civil Guard added in a press release.

The arrest underscores ongoing counterterrorism cooperation between Spain and Morocco as both countries work to combat extremism and bolster regional security.
