Madrid, May 7 (EFE).- Spanish police have arrested three Moroccan men on the Canary island of Tenerife suspected of having captured and sent a man to Syria to join the ranks of the Nusra Front terror organization.
According to Spain's interior ministry, the trio captured a 35-year-old Moroccan man at an internet cafe and mosque they frequented.
The group allegedly introduced the man to Salafi extremism, persuaded him to travel to Syria in 2013, and, upon his return to Tenerife in a small boat in 2015 after having lost his left hand, helped him to get to Central Europe using forged documents, until he was arrested in Budapest.
Spain's authorities carried out the operation in collaboration with Europol.
