MADRID — Spanish police on Friday arrested two people for suspected links to the Islamic State group, the Interior Ministry said. The ministry said Spanish police have arrested 180 suspected jihadi activists over the past two years, many of them in Ceuta. The ministry said Thursday’s operation stemmed from an investigation into the guns used in the suspected jihadi attack on a Jewish museum in Brussels in 2014 that killed four people. It wasn’t immediately clear if police found that the arms used in the attack came from the Spanish group. A ministry statement said the group bought the out-of-commission weapons legally but reconditioned and sold them illegally.
