The brain behind the summer attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, imam Abdelbaki Es Satty, worked as an informer for the Spanish secret service. That writes El País.
The Spanish police arrested a fifth suspect five weeks after the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. It is a 24-year-old Moroccan man suspected of buying raw materials for the bombs. In addition, he would have also delivered cars.
The Spanish police have now also identified the last member of the Catalan terrorist cell. The terrorists attacked Barcelona and Cambrils last week, causing fifteen people to die.
The most sought after terrorist in the world shot down on Monday night: Younes Abouyaaqoub. He was the main suspect of 'Barcelona'. What do we know now?
The Belgian Public Prosecutor's Office has no evidence that there is a link between the imam that the brain would be behind in Barcelona and Cambrils and the attacks in Brussels in March 2016.
The fugitive 22-year-old Younes Abouyaaqoub was behind the wheel of the van used at the Barcelona attacks. That told the Catalan authorities at the newspaper El Periódico.
The Spanish police are investigating the contacts with Ripoll's imam, the alleged leader of the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, with members of Islamic State in Belgium, Morocco and France. Police sources said against the newspaper El País that Imam Abdelbaki Es Satty was probably rationalized during one of those trips.
Village fellow in the Catalan Ripoll knew him as a fortified forties who never spoke and seemed temperate. To a house in a south-facing Alcanar, the air flew through a failed gas bottle bomb. The mysterious Moroccan imam Abdelbaki as-Satty could once be the brain behind the teenage brigade who performed the attacks in Spain.
The imam from the Spanish town of Ripoll, possibly involved in the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, stayed for some time in Vilvoorde. That states the mayor of the city, near Brussels.
The Spanish police found the remains of a third person in the detached house in Alcanar where the terrorists prepared the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. That reports several Spanish media on Sunday.
The Spanish police searched the house of an Imam on Saturday morning in the municipality of Ripoll north of Barcelona.
The Catalan police have been in the house in Alcanar on Friday, where bombs were probably made for attacks, found the substance of a second person. The building was destroyed by a huge explosion on Wednesday.
The Spanish authorities suspect that eight people were involved in Thursday's attacks.
According to an anonymous intelligence source in The New York Times, the Spanish police assume that an unintended explosion in a house in Alcanar on Wednesday night has triggered the course of terrorist attacks.
