Madrid - Lina El Assy
Supporters of the Islamic State (ISIS) issued warnings on social media vowing violent attacks on Spanish touristic places where the country is expecting millions of visitors this year, according to a government report.
The government expressed its concerns that the terrorist group may have recruited translators and foreign jihadists from the country. Its bid to find Spanish speaking fanatics started last summer, the document claims, adding that extremists were increasingly publishing in the language.
It comes just weeks after police in San Sebastian, in the country's north, arrested a Moroccan boxing coach suspected of recruiting for ISIS.
