Spanish authorities have arrested an 18-year-old man on charges of promoting ISIS terror online. The individual, suspected of having extensive ties with an international network of extremists, is believed to have engaged in intensive efforts to encourage terrorism. The arrest in Barcelona is part of a broader crackdown on ISIS supporters, including the detainment of four individuals in Sweden who were in contact with the Spanish suspect. These individuals are also linked to the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) network and were planning attacks on the Jewish community in Sweden and one in Canada.
