Spanish police arrest man on suspicion of Islamic State links
[Jpost] Spanish police said on Saturday they had arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of belonging to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) Death Eater group, adding that a search of his home found explosive-making chemicals and a list of targets.

Identified only as "A.A.A,"
...a memorable identifier...
the Spanish citizen was arrested in Parla, a town near Madrid, on suspicion of incitement to commit attacks and terrorist threats, police said in a statement. The case is being investigated by Spain's high court.

Islamic State grabbed credit for attacks in 2017 in Barcelona and Cambrils that killed 14 people.

Police said that during a raid on the suspect’s home they had found chemicals that could be used to make the explosive triacetone triperoxide or TATP,
...also known as Mother of Satan because of its instability and the bigness of its bang when it goes off...
an unstable explosive that has been used in several attacks in western Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
in recent years.

They said they had also found a bulletproof vest with shrapnel attached, along with detailed notes on how to prepare explosives and a list of potential targets.

Spanish newspaper El Pais cited unnamed sources saying the suspect had threatened to attack a judge at Spain’s high court.

Police said he was responsible for the Spanish wing of Muntasir Media, which promotes Islamic State and operates internationally to incite followers to commit attacks.
