Police in Madrid, Spain, arrested three probable terrorists on June 21.

One had a suicide bomber’s training manual. The same man had a large collection of other extremist literature.

The other two men lived with the would-be bomber. All three were from Morocco.

Moroccans have been involved in recent attacks in London, Paris, and Brussels.

The police released video showing the raid. Officers in riot gear stormed the apartment. Then, men wearing white robes and motorcycle helmets were dragged out in cuffs.

The Spanish government said the prime suspect was extremely dangerous. His profile was similar to the terrorists who carried out attacks recently in Great Britain and France.

The Spanish Interior Ministry said the prime suspect had links with ISIS.
