The National Police arrested the suspected leader of a jihadist cell linked to the Islamic State (Daesh) in Palma on Wednesday, in a joint operation with Moroccan authorities that also led to the arrest of two other people in Tangier. According to the investigation, the group financed terrorism and was planning a possible attack in Spain, which the arrested leader intended to be "a major operation." The arrest took place at a residence located at number 3 Gabriel Maura Street in the Balearic capital. The operation, directed by the National Court, involved the General Information Commissariat and the Provincial Information Brigade, in coordination with Moroccan authorities, in a simultaneous action that forms part of Operation Seula.
