Spanish police arrest 2 on suspicion of forming part of IS

Spain's Interior Ministry says two people have been arrested in Catalonia and the Canary Islands on suspicion of forming part of the Islamic State group and of recruiting and indoctrinating Islamic militants.
Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said the two, a man and a woman both of Moroccan nationality, worked within "a highly professional" network aimed at conveying "an idealized image of their struggle" in order to recruit impressionable young Spaniards and train them in the use of arms and explosives.
Fernandez Diaz said the suspects arrested today in northeastern Mataro and on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura were "in constant contact with the Islamic State hierarchy in Syria" and both had made a public oath of loyalty to IS and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
