Two 'dangerously radicalized' men with links to ISIS arrested in Madrid

Source: El Pais

Police in Madrid have arrested two men suspected of belonging to a jihadist cell with links to Islamic State.
The two men, aged 43 and 22, are alleged to have strong links to a cell that recruited, radicalized and trained would-be terrorists for suicide attacks, were arrested on Monday evening just hours before the Manchester Arena attack which has so far claimed 22 lives and left more than 50 injured.

Police said the two men, both Moroccans, are suspected of being “cyber soldiers” involved in more than one hundred internet sites aimed at training Isis members to carry out attacks, including video tutorials on how to make homemade explosions.

Sounds like it would be a double bombing if they hadn't gotten caught. Hopefully they can learn something from their computers and their hacking systems and codes.
