Spain raids jihadist cell ‘led by ex-Guantanamo inmate’

Spanish police arrested eight people in pre-dawn raids in Madrid on Monday against a jihadist recruitment network led by a former Guantanamo Bay inmate, the government said.

The cell found and dispatched recruits for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants based in Syria and Iraq, Spain's interior ministry said in a statement.

“It should be highlighted that the leader of this cell lived in Spain after passing through Guantanamo, having been arrested in Afghanistan in 2001,” it said, without providing further details.

Police have so far launched 12 raids, detaining eight people, and the investigation remains open, the ministry said.

After Spain elected a Socialist government, who then bailed on us from the ME, I'm having a hard time summoning a lot of sympathy. But I suppose nabbing this terrorist and his underlings is a lot better than hundreds of dead and maimed Spaniards. Who knows? They might even realize that knuckling under to the terror train-bombing several years ago didn't buy them the peace they hoped for.
