Raids were continuing Wednesday morning targeting the group, based on the island of Majorca and led by an Islamist imam, who was arrested in Britain, the ministry said in a statement. The group organised "weekly underground meetings... of youths with similar ideologies... to convince them to travel to conflict zones," the ministry said. Four arrests were also made in Palma, the capital of Majorca, and one in Germany, and searches were still underway in Germany and Britain. The intelligence and police services of Spain, Britain and Germany, along with European agencies, took part in the raids coordinated by the Spanish state prosecutor, which oversees terrorism cases.
