Spain’s interior ministry has announced the seizure of 20,000 military uniforms being sent to fighters from Islamic State and the Nusra Front.
The ministry said that police conducted a counter-terrorism operation last month in the port cities of Valencia and Algeciras, where officers opened three shipping containers. Authorities found the uniforms and other military accessories.
A ministry statement released on Thursday said that police arrested seven people on suspicion of providing logistical and financial support to Isis and the Nusra Front.
The police operation “neutralised a very active and efficient business network whose primary purpose was to supply, maintain and strengthen [Isis]”, according to the statement.
