Moroccan man arrested in Spain with suicide bomb manual

A Moroccan man said to be “highly radicalised” and who had a large collection of extreme Islamist material including a manual for suicide bombers, was arrested by Spanish police during a raid in central Madrid.

Reports say the Moroccan man was arrested alongside two of his other compatriots aged 38 and 32 who lived with him according to a statement issued by the Spanish Interior Ministry.

Television images showed armed police in riot gear storming the apartment building before dawn and men dressed in white robes and motorcycle helmets being grappled to the ground and handcuffed outside the apartment block.

The man had an extremely dangerous profile, similar to that of those who carried out recent attacks in Britain and France, the government said, without giving further details.
