Catalonia is the priority of the CNI (Intelligence Service) research on jihadist cells
July 17, 2014
While ISIS militias continue their progress in Iraq and Syria, in Spain the fight against jihadist cells is intensified especially in Catalonia which is considered by the intelligence Service, the hottest spot for jihadism.
CNI is searching the area for cells that may be ready to send mujahideen to Iraq and Syria.
Right now, Spain is on level 2 for Islamist attack risk – “probable risk of attack” – coinciding with the campaign of Iraq and Syria and the ‘Crossing the Straits’ (Paso del Estrecho) operation.
