Monday, June 17, 2024 - Nine people have been arrested after Islamic State terrorists were ordered to shoot at Real Madrid players, according to reports from Spain after the Civil Guard dismantled one of the organisation's propaganda centres.
According to Spanish outlet El Confidencial, the self-styled
I'lam Foundation - one of the biggest Propaganda sources connected with Islamic
State - was taken down by the Spanish Civil Guard Information Service.
The report claims that the operation uncovered a number of
orders directed at Real Madrid, the Santiago Bernabeu, and Los
Blancos fans.
A post was circulated on the now dismantled network,
accompanied by the message: 'My dear brother. Wait in a place near the arrival
point of the players. Aim at them along with their supporters.'
Another post was reportedly more directed at the Santiago
Bernabeu, saying: 'My dear brother in Al-Andalus. A very valuable target awaits
you.
'Break through the crowds, distract security with improvised
explosives and decoy devices, and advance towards your main target with
determination.'
The operation from the Civil Guard was carried out in
cooperation with Europol, the FBI, and the authorities from the Netherlands,
Germany, France, Estonia, Romania, and Iceland.
It has yielded nine arrests in Spain, as per El
Confidencial, from Girona, Cadiz, Almeria, and Tenerife, two of which proceeded
to pre-trial detention.
According to Sky Italy, investigations began months ago and
included the seizure of computers and propaganda material, and those arrested
were accused of terrorism and criminal conspiracy.
