Spain Arrests 6 in Alleged Islamic Cell

    Spanish police broke up an Islamic cell of five men and one woman, suspected of using the internet to recruit fighters for the Iraq insurgency. The suspects are all from either Algeria or Morocco, and allegedly call themselves Los Ansar – a reference to Ansar el Islam, an al-Qaeda linked group operating in Iraq, the Spanish ministry said. Spanish police said that this is the first time a cell has been cracked where its members relied so heavily on the internet.
