The Spanish Civil Guard announced Friday the arrest of an individual in Guadalajara, central Spain, for belonging to the terrorist group “Daesh,” during a joint operation conducted with Morocco’s Directorate General for Territorial Surveillance (DGST).

The close cooperation between the two security services made it possible to confirm the individual’s presence in Spain, which in turn allowed the judicial proceedings launched against him in Morocco for terrorism-related offenses to be resumed, according to a press release from the Civil Guard.

Following his arrest, the suspect was brought before a judge of the Spanish National Court, the authority responsible for handling international arrest warrants, the source added.

The Civil Guard emphasized that the fight against terrorist threats remains a priority for national and international counterterrorism services.

This operation is part of the ongoing cooperation between Spain and Morocco in the fight against terrorism and extremism, and reflects the efforts of both countries to promote regional and international security.
