An alleged radicalized jihadist detained in Girona was searching the Internet for how to carry out mass stabbings moments before the police stormed his home.
The police said that the man, of Spanish nationality and Moroccan origin, was in an “advanced process of jihadist radicalization and had a profile of great violence and aggressiveness.”
He allegedly had active profiles on social networks and accessed the dark web to read manuals and train himself to use and acquire weapons and create explosives.
“He used the Internet to show his active support for the terrorist organization DAESH (Islamic State),” police said.
“The same day of his arrest, he was looking for ways to carry out stabbings and attacks made with this type of bladed weapons.”
The FBI played an “essential role” in identifying the alleged terrorist, while the Civil Guard, in a joint operation with the General Commissioner of Information of the National Police, arrested the man.
The head of the Central Court of Instruction No. 2 ordered his entry into prison.
